After adjusting the top tether strap, you may have
excess strap;
DO NOT
cut it off. If you do, it may not be
long enough to use in another vehicle. Instead, tightly
roll up the excess tether strap and place the rubber band
around the bundle.
Note:
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the location
of the tether anchor bracket in your vehicle. Older vehicles
may not come equipped with anchor bracket hardware.
Check with your vehicle dealer.
If you have questions regarding tether anchors that are not
addressed by the vehicle owner’s manual or
answered by an authorized dealer/vehicle manufacturer,
