If you're like me, you probably have never used the rear seat belts. I took mine off and put them up on eBay -- lo and behold -- there's a market for them! I'm not sure who's buying them and for what purpose, but they are going for over $20
Here's mine: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7934928466
Here was someone's: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7925946970
This one went for $50+: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=7931204115

Don't everyone go and put up your eBay ads all at once! We don't want to flood the market....

If the plastic sleeves around them are not cracked and if there is no corrosion on the buckle, etc., I'd like to buy a pair for $20. The plastic is cracked/torn on mine. PM me if you have some to sell.

Thanks,

OT: Tony you still have to show me your lights you put on your car. Never got a chance that night when we meet up. We should try to meet up next time you are up here but not this week with all the family stuff.

People with 968 cabs have been known to convert the back seats functional with seat belts. So i could see someone like that buying these.

Later!

I don't think the number of people replacing missing rear belts (or putting one in a cab) explains the amount of bidding these belts are getting. After talking to some of the bidders, I'm thinking that they are using for some non-Porsche applications. Heck, I'm just happy that I got any money of the deal .

Those plastic sleeves that rip cost about $15 alone for the pair. I replaced mine, because I got sick of looking at the old ones.

In NY, the registration sticker lists (used to list?) the max number of occupants. Does the removing the seatbelts change this?

I guess rear seatbelts are optional, but are you screwing over a subsequent owner by removing safety equipment? I guess I mean to say, I could understand removing the seatbelts _and_ the seat, but not just the seatbelts.

Id like to remove my seats and put in a sub or a shelf or something, but i always end up having to cram people back there...well, 1 person...I'm 6'5", there's about 2 inches between my seat and the back seat...my friends curse the day when i bought that car and could no longer give them rides...
