IMO, I'd rather have these harnesses untested than trying to use the seat belt in varous ways. You're a safer driver when you aren't trying to brace and hold yourself in position.
Yes - unfortunately, there isn't just a bolt, there is the inertial reel for the belt tucked under the parcel shelf that will get in the way. I am in the process of figuring out how to remove the shelf and bend the anchor around the reel. I will dig out a photo from my TIS files I downloaded...I need a friend with a vise and the patience to help remove that trim - it is not trivial and needs speakers etc to be pulled out.

I am guessing this set up will not put any downward load on the seat back in a crash. Until they can certify the E9X seats with 4 point systems attached to the bottom of the rear seats, this is what they have to offer.
