Default Rear seat Strap Question

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.

Rob, you have the late style 3.5" long ones. the early ones are for the 65-73 year cars.
