The rear seat straps on my '78sc are gone..looking at buying new ones..currently over at automotion.com they have "early style" and "late style".. they have some that are 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" as well as 5".. which are the correct ones for mine? Mine didnt have any when I got the car so I cant take the old ones and measure..
THANKS!

Rob--
I have an '85 Targa and replaced my straps several years ago. My interior is burgundy, so I had them made by a local shoe repair shop. Got the snaps from Home Depot for a couple of $$; the shoe repair shop made up the straps for $10 for the pair. Any good shop should be able to do it - horse tack shops are an option as well.
For your '78, I would think you want late style. Mine measure 3.5" and are screwed into the rear deck.
FYI, I can't tell you the last time I used them as I almost always leave the rear seats down.
