A seat includes a seat bottom, a seat back, a seat mounting structure configured to support the seat bottom and the seat back, the seat mounting structure configured to slidably couple to the rail assembly, and an occupant restraint system including a seat belt coupled to a retractor assembly. The retractor assembly is configured to slidably couple to the rail assembly such that the retractor assembly moves along the rail assembly as the seat mounting structure is moved along the rail assembly, the occupant restraint system configured to transfer load to the rail assembly disposed in the vehicle floor.

The seat back has a rear surface incorporating the storage panel assembly.

A convertible top for a motor vehicle. The top is supported by rails for movement between a deployed position and a stored position in the trunk of the vehicle. A deck lid closes the trunk and can be retracted to a position clearing a path for movement of the top between deployed and stored positions. The top is made of two separate parts, a roof part and a rear part.
