Question Regarding rear Passenger Seat Belts

#1: Question Regarding rear Passenger Seat Belts Author: kakaruto, Location: Mansfield Nottingham PostPosted: Sat Sep 10, 2011 3:49 pm
    ----
ok so here is the problem i am having.

I have a 2001 Y plate 206 LX it has the crappy green interior seats, the rear seats has the seatbelt built into the seat for the middle passenger.

I have taken the LX interior out and have fitted a set of GTi half leather interior but these do not have the seat belt for the middle passenger.

I am wondering what i can do to get around this as i really dont want to be buying another set of GTI half leather interior.

I presume the interior from this GTI was a very early one with a lap belt? if so does that mean i have to fit a lap belt?

Just wondering incase it comes up for MOT and i really dont want it to fail! i know i wont be having a car full of passengers so it is no big deal i am just wanting to know how i can get around this should i need to take my car in for an MOT.

thanks again

Rob

i would declare my car as a "4 " seater except what happens on the unlikely event i have to have 3 in the back... wont be good at all as i have a fairly big family and friends base!

might go about fitting a lap belt then ah buggery :/

Lmao.. I have a huge friends base (and was one the only one in my friends group at uni with a car) and I never had more than 3 people in the car...

Also is your car lowered? Having all that weight in the back won't help the rear susp. parts anyway Wink

lol yes my car is lowered how low i dont know but the rear wheel arch is covering part of my tyre LOL so its very low anyways.

might think about delcaring my car as a 4 seater to be honest... i cant be doing with 3 people in back would be a waste of fuel! and fuel economy cant be all that great either haha!

your set of half leather interior would of been from a later GTi, i believe my set was from a very early GTI hence why there is no 3 point middle seatbelt, and thus meaning the middle passenger using a lap belt.

i presume your rear seats have head rests? if so then its deffo the later ones as mine do not have the head rests which makes it a very early one.
