Default Can you help me find the latch connectors on RX300?

For the life of me, I cannot find the latch anchors on my wife's 2002 RX300 are. I see the latch's on the back of the seats, but I cannot find the anchors between the seat cushions and backs. The manual says that there should be a little tag on the seat back but I don't see it. What gives?

Thanks anyway, but I finally found them. For future reference if anyone ever searches for this, the latch connectors are right at the very bottom of the back cushion, right at the isofix tags. I was looking deep in the crack between the back and butt cushion, that's why I couldn't find them.

FYI, they give a dead on locked down seat. Much more stable then I had with the belt.

Anyone know if you can retrofit the latch system on a 2000 RX? I bought the behind the seat latch bolt kit, but I'd rather use the latch hooks that theanimala talks about..

I highly doubt you could do this. They metal latches are really integrated into the seat. I don't see how they could go about putting them in and make them as strong as from the factory. Even 'if' they could, I doubt anyone would do it for you for liability reasons (no way to prove it's strength would pass legal levels, etc).
