What is this hook behind the back seat?
Trending Topics
They are cargo tiedowns. The LATCH system for baby seats was not available ever on the F-body. They WILL NOT work with a LATCH baby seat. DO NOT try to use LATCH tiedowns with this hook.
BTW, LATCH wasn't mandated by the government until September 1, 2002.
Although not available on the 4th gen, the 5th gen will have the LATCH system.
These were the only vehicles prior to the mandate that had LATCH available:
Buick Century, LeSabre, Regal and Rendezvous
Cadillac DeVille and Escalade
Chevrolet Impala, Malibu and Monte Carlo
Chevy Venture, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe
GMC Sierra and Yukon XL
Pontiac Aztek, Grand AM, Bonneville and Montana
Oldsmobile Alero, Aurora, and Silhouette
Saturn L-Series and VUE
Saab 9-3 and 9-5
BTW, GM didn't introduce LATCH on it's vehicles until the 2002 model year. And only on those listed above. LATCH has THREE mounting points, 2 lower and one upper. Case in point: F-bodies do not have the required 2 lower attaching points.......which doesn't matter anyway, because the cargo tiedown isn't located properly to be used with LATCH anyway.

That's f'ing funny! I have such a clear mental picture of this actually happening.

It's on page 1-38 in your owners manual (for 02 cars). Securing a Child Restraint in a Rear Seat Position.
Or it could be for racing harnesses for the passengers in the rear seat.
I stand by my original assumption. It's for mounting the "Flux Capacitor"
