I have a 2007 SCREW, & behind the rear seat headrests are three, nylon straps attatched to what look to be metal clips, located just in front of the reat window. What are these things function, & what purpose do they serve?
Thanks!..................

 

baby seats maybe

 

Should be the carseat anchors. Forward facing seats attach to these straps. The dots on the bottom of your seats lead down to metal rings that serves the same purpose.

 

if it's the same as the ones in the regular cab they're for car seats. my reg cab only has one in the middle because that's the only legal place for a car seat....you have more for your supercrew because it's allowable to do that. it's a new way to anchor your car seat from flying forward in a crash.

don't worry though, i bought my truck in december 04 and didn't figure out what the hell it was until april 06 when i had a baby boy. there's a nylon strap with a metal buckle on new car seats that clip into the nylon straps on your trucks rear cab wall

 

wow, i should type faster on sat morning. i started my reply when the thread was empty.....you guys are quick!

 

AAAHHHHH, thats what they are for! It was drivin me crazy, I guess to use these things, I'll have to get busy, since I don't have any kids right now!!! ........

 

lol thats a good excuse. "Honey, im sick of those straps in the back seat not getting any use!"

 

If you do use that as an excuse, you'd better enjoy it now! Because after the kiddies arrive, it's all over.

 

For that strap sticking up in the middle of the seat on some of our trucks, use needle-nose pliers to pull out the staple, take off the rubber sleeving as necessary, and push them down behind the seat. YOU may not need those for the kiddies, but the next guy/gal who owns your truck might! It doesn't hurt to leave them there ... just hidden away. Plus, leaving them in place looks odd and the rubberband will melt in time and 'gunk' up your truck. Your manual will give you info on how to use the child seat safety straps.

 

Yea Im 16, my truck has them, I wont need them for a while. UNLESS.....

 

its for baby car seats to secure to or other things you could tie to it, yea when i first got mine i noticed that and i didnt no either, but i read the owners manual and thats what it for

 

I was getting excited when I saw mine. I thought it might lay down the back of the seat. I'm not sure why the bottom comes up instead. Bumps and jacks make it difficult to use the extra space.

 

Here are some pics of all the latch systems

Not true, thats when it all starts.

 

Normally I'd give ya all sorts of hell for asking this question. Fortunately I am in a docile mood and looking to pad my posts count. Glad you found the information you were seeking...
