Default Isn't this Seat Belt Clip Wrong??
I recently ordered some new seatbelts from seatbeltplanet.com. I installed the front, but when I go to install the rears, I am almost positive the seat belt clip is installed upside down. Typically, it is not very difficult to flip them, but the design of these seem almost impossible. First question, am I correct that these are upside down and second, how do I flip? Thanks.

The first 2 pictures are the seat belts and hardware itself.





Here is the picture I am referring to being upside down.

I think you might have the reel part mounted wrong

Hmm, seems to be the only way to mount. I will research more.

Besides that yours do appear to have the latch on the wrong side

Thanks for the pics! I agree. Here is a picture of my stock one I am replacing.



It looks like it can only bolt in one way with the aftermarket one from Seatbeltplanet.com.





Which places it upside down, correct? Damn, I wonder how to fix this? I will call them tomorrow if I can't get it sorted, but does anyone have any ideas?

One other thing the latch portion on mine slides freely up and down the belt the belt just goes thru a single hole not up over a bar as your new ones do
I hope the pictures help
Your welcome good luck Mr Wolfe oh I asked this before were you in Pulp Fiction 😂

That might only make sense if you saw the movie

I've seen the movie.

I guess maybe I won't get my interior installed this weekend.
