Default Rear rearbelt conversion to 3 point, anyone

I finally won or have a set of three point rear seat belts from an S4! Has anyone tried, had success of adding these to an OB? Basically once I get these installed, the wife agreed to give clearance for the kids to ride in the back seats!



Three little jumpers!

I've seen the steps detailed before. It's not simple.

Do a seach and you rill find the info,

However on all the OBs that I have torn into the 3rd mounting point is there, you just have to cut a hole in the C pillar liner and bolt it in.

Agreed, as I have felt a bolt hole about half way down the top of the rear quarter windows. Do you have any photos?

I don't know when exactly mounting points were added to C pillars but 3 point belts were mandatory in Finland and few other countries several years before they became standard in all markets in 928. Very likely all 928 bodies had mounting points for them by that time.

Were you the one that got the set on Ebay tonight? I almost got in a bidding war with you; but decided to spend money on the shark elsewere for now.

Good luck with the conversion.

Unless you were prepared for north of $200 you would not have stood a chance.

Thanks, and I will do a photo shoot of the conversion!

Cheers,

Sure I have pics, but unless you know of a way to extract them from my memory, you are out of luck lol.

It isnt too hard, and you can pull down the cover enough to be able to see where they are.

I'm surprised to hear that 3pt belts would be scarce enough to cause a bidding war...

Godzilla has rear belts. Not a big deal. Replaced the receivers, and installed the belts. I have a spare set of rear 3-point belts

Were those the rare rear frontbelts, or the even rarer front rearbelts?
