Ick, what a terrible idea. What vehicles have these ceiling mounted anchors, so I can steer clear?
.... in the early TA years, most hatch and wagon body style cars had them at the rear sill because that was probably the easiest, from a structural point of view. then they realized how much of a hassle it was and designed more convenient places for them
I hate the ceiling ones and the ones that take up the cargo area. Why don't they all put the ones on the backs of the seats? Grrr.
they're not awful, but can interfere with a pet barrier.
What kind of vehicle are you looking for? they're in all Subaru wagons, but not the Tribeca.
We have a 2000 Subaru Impreza wagon. No ceiling tether anchors. They're in the back of the cargo area and like others have said, we lose a lot of cargo space!

The Volvo wagons, VW wagons are good right? What about the Saturn Vue?
The first generation Saturn Vue ('02-'07 model years) has 3 top tether anchors on the rear seatbacks, and I believe this is the case in the redesigned '08 Vue model as well.
Sorry, I'm not sure what location you are referring to when you say "rear"?in the early TA years, most hatch and wagon body style cars had them at the rear sill because that was probably the easiest, from a structural point of view. then they realized how much of a hassle it was and designed more convenient places for them
Are they on the floor of the cargo area? Where? Don't they interfere with the cargo mat? And did you have to get them retrofitted? Both my 99 Forester and my 06 Legacy have them on the ceiling (the Forester's had to be retrofitted). I've never seen a Subaru wagon with them anywhere else.
