how do you tie down a yaris
I have a 2010 Yaris 4dr hatchback. I am in Georgia and it is in Arizona so I can't get under it to check it out.
I just bought a 24ft enclosed car hauler trailer and I am going to put the Yaris in it when I get back to Arizona and transport it to California. How do I tie down the Yaris? Are there multiple tie down points underneath and if so what kind of fittings does it use? |

All I know is the front has a little plastic piece that pops off and a long eye bolt threads into there. |

When I picked up Crashy with an open car trailer, I tied her down using a set of tie-downs that I picked up at a local auto parts store, using the two rear holes and the bottom of the A-arms on the front. I wanted to use two points on the front, which is why I went to the A-arms rather than using the two hook.
The straps that I bought were rated for 3000 lbs each and had rubber coated hooks. They are identical to this set from Northern Tool: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...4934_200344934

Check the tension every so often during the trip.
