It's not until like 94 or around there, they did away with them. I like them for every day driving. The normal ones hold you in the seat better......but in my case......I need a new seat.....my driver's seat is toast.

hey homeslice, how difficult was the install? What was the cost to convert? I need to replace my front seat belts and this might be an option.

Hi group!

I'd like to do this too.

Other than the belt assembly, what else is needed? Would I need do replace the pillar trim where the belts attach? What about the part you click the belt into?

Anyone up in Canada willing to get/sell me the necessary parts? If I get them, I would have some auto belts for sell/trade.

Thanks.

Why do you all want rid of them so bad???

I find them very convenient, and I also appreciate the little discount my insurance gives me for having them ;)

someone actually likes the automatic belts? :shock:

at least ours don't run on a track on the top of the door - those were nice for ejecting you if the door failed in a collision

I'd like to see pics of the install / swap, I'd easily invest in this especially if my auto belts ever quit.

btw some yards won't sell used seatbelts => liability, probably not an issue in canada
