Abstract: An attachment structure for attaching a seat assembly to a vehicle underbody includes a first cross member that extends between a pair of side rails. The first cross member includes first and second transversely extending portions that each support a striker. A second cross member also extends between the pair of side rails. First and second longitudinal members extend between the first and second cross members. The first longitudinal member is attached to the first cross member at the first transversely extending portion and the second longitudinal member is attached to the second cross member at the second transversely extending portion. Straps are mounted to each of the first and second transversely extending portions, with one strap extending underneath each of the first or second longitudinal members. The first and second transversely extending portions each include a horseshoe shaped opening over which the respective striker extends.

Abstract: A rear load floor is formed with a first recessed storage well for holding cargo within the rear cargo area of the automobile. A second recessed storage well is formed in the floor of the first recessed storage well to store the spare tire and jack assembly. A removable panel is provided to cover the spare tire recessed well and maintain the integrity of the bottom of the first recessed storage well for the loading of cargo thereon. The second recessed storage well is positioned off center with respect to the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle to accommodate the mounting of the vehicle exhaust system. The first recessed storage well includes a flange located at the conventional load floor position and supported from the rear side rails of the vehicle body.
