What exactly are these for?

I was just curious of the function of the two brakets of the rear deck of my 2000 SS. I know it sounds like a stupid question but I have to ask it. Thanks alot guys.

Re: What exactly are these for?

The dealer told me they were luggage tie downs when I bought mine new in '00... although the later response makes more sense... The same tie downs are in the luggage area of my dads suburban, so they def are for luggage too

Yep, child seat restraints . However, I'm using one of them as an amp hold down.
