Hi guys, I’m hoping someone/s can help me, relating to the installation of “shoulder” rear seat belts. My jeep is a 1988 Laredo that came with the bog-standard lap belts.
I’ve purchased some later model seat belts (from a 1998 model) all was going fine until I got to fitting the top part that goes through the headliner.
Now I’m not sure whether I’ve selected the correct hole to place the bolt through. I’ve acquired the correct size nut, but after looking at the youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_KGT27dYFI (for the 20th time!) of a chap retrofitting the belts into his jeep, I’m now not too sure. Unfortunately I’ve got no junk yards around me for 50miles, that I could go and look at one…oh how I envy you USA guys…
I’ve taken some photos – my question is where am I to fit it???
Red is what I thought was the hole for the belt
Green is the ‘dremel’ hole I made to insert the nut
Blue is what the ‘youtube’ guy used. The whole in mine is far too big for the standard bolt
Also what about this odd ‘point’ (red) at the top of the belt? Would I just cut it off or is it supposed to go through the slit in the roof (yellow)
Thanks,
