Baby seat mounting question

Post by kiwi_mtm » Sun Oct 23, 2005 12:51 am

Hi guys, I have a Britax (Australian manufactured one) installed in the A4, and need to also be able to fit it into the RS4. The issue is the top strap (see pics). The A4 is easy, as you simply drill and mount the hook in the parcel tray. The RS4 raises questions of where is best to mount this hook ?? I cant see any factory predrilled holes or similar and are wondering where you guys fitted it ?

These are the A4 pics.

I recently imported my RS4 from the U.K. to Australia and there were only 2 modifications I need to make to the car. Firstly the driver side mirror needed to be completely flat, and secondly 3 child seat anchors needed to be fitted. According to Audi Australia (and a couple of the guys on ozaudi.com) the anchors are bolted to screw holes in the centre of the back each of the 3 rear seats. However, no-one at Audi could tell me whether the screw holes would have been bored on the UK models (likewise the N.Z. models, I imagine) or provide me a schematic showing us exactly where to cut the rear a upholstery. So in the end we gave up and fitted the bolts to the chassis interior, just below the rear door. Eventually I will refit them to the correct locations - so I’m curious to see how you go….

(I can e-mail you what little I received from Audi if you want.)
