    It is a moose hanger in the offseason. "In" season, it holds your hockey kit. Just ask AceMaster.

    You may be right. Or a way to secure the beer bag while it's sitting on the rear shelf.

    I think it may have something to do with the removable top cover. maybe it fastens a leather cover that holds the removable top in place when stored behind the seat.

    not sure why only Canadian car,

    Regards,
    Jim

    I don't believe the Latch system become available until much later. My first car to get it was a 2001 BMW...

    I read some research studies from the early/mid nineties that compared the CANFIX system to other designs.

    " Transport Canada developed the CANFIX system, which consists of two
    rigid rear anchorages at the seat bight (rather than the four points of
    ISOFIX), plus an upper tether. This system envisions all vehicles to be
    equipped with upper tether anchorage locations. CANFIX is supported by
    Australia, which refers to the system as CAUSFIX. At this time, neither
    Canada nor Australia requires the CANFIX or CAUSFIX but both are
    interested in pursuing such a requirement in the near-term. It is
    noted, however, that Transport Canada has stated that in lieu of rigid
    lower anchorage points, it could support soft anchorages such as those
    of the ``UCRA'' system described below, in addition to an upper tether."

    Not sure when the CANFIX was first implemented.
