Does anyone know where the child seat restraint points are in the back of the Meteor GC wagon please?
We've just bought one in really good nick but didnt have the owners handbook with it. |

Can't help with specifics of that model, but by that age, the ADRs dictated the minimum of 3 points, so they will be there. I wasn't until later on that the ADRs dictated the need to have at least one fitted with a bolt/clip like a 2000s Falcon or Commodore, so you're looking for the threaded holes, which can be elusive in a wagon or hatch with carpet in the rear.
Lift up the carpet in the load area & see if they are visible in the floorpan. Otherwise check the rear of the seat back. They're the only 2 locations you'll find them in. They may or may not have plastic plugs covering them . |

Hi. One other location for child restraint points may be the upper frame of the tailgate opening or a combination of any 2 places, ie. the outer points in the floor and the middle point on the back of the seat. If the anchor points have never been used they may have a plastic plug screwed into them and the thread size is 5/16 unc. Cheers MD

Thanks guys. I've located a couple of plugged holes where you expect them to be - in the floor pan in the cargo area about the mid point of each seat. But there is no threaded plate fitted which you'd normally expect to see.
The holes are directly above a chassis box section which have corresponding holes in the bottom of it. I've found an owners handbook on ebay so hopefully that'll shed light on my problem. In the meantime I'll keep looking. |

Thanks Michael for the tip about the frame above the tailgate. That's exactly where they were - 3 of them.
