I bought a 2014 used ED. The rear cargo area has a cargo tie-down/metal ring on the right side and nothing but a plastic filler/button on the left. I am assuming the dummy button hides a place for a cargo tie-down to be screwed in to. Am I assuming correctly? If so, does anyone know the part number? And less importantly, why wouldn't they put a tie down on both sides?

Child safety seat.............

The passanger side only tie down ring is meant as a secure point for any/all child safety seats. Smart assumes the driver
will be adult size. That is also why passanger air bag stays OFF,until an adult sits there...................

Wow, I did not know that. Thanks for the clarification.

Why then, you may ask is there a dummy plug on the Driver's side? Because the passenger side is SOMETIMES ON THE LEFT, especially when the car is a RT. hand drive. I have always wanted a matching D ring, too. No, I do not know the part number, either.

Now the question.
Is it worth $45 or more with shipping to have matching sides?

Take Care
