Seat Belts

[dodj]

Thinking of getting an aftermarket set of belts w/shoulder belt to replace the originals. Any opinions on what to buy out there?

I have 74 E-Body belts in mine but they hang down too low and really are not that safe in a wreck. ( break your collar bone)
I found this article  helpful?

XV has nice belts, and they have an extension for the shoulder belt so it comes across lower and not on your collar bone.

Make sure you know the mounting point for the shoulder belt.  If your headliner is already in it can be tough to find.

Finding the bolt hole is pretty easy.  Just push in the headliner just above the quarter window about 3 inches up, and you should feel the hole in a bracket.  I used a hot nail to make a hole in my headliner just big enough for the bolt.  It turned out fast and easy.  Now if I can only remember where I bought them???  Ill look tomorrow.

Anyone here have these installed? The price is right!

I agree on the price, but from what I have heard, it may take months to get them after you pay for them. Customer service, was not their strong suit.

Wow, $72 per belt is a good deal.

Ya I've heard that, I was hoping the new owner would change that fact.

Just not sure I want to be the one to test it out.....

Anybody have feedback on the new owners of XV?

   Yup!

I like that they offer matching lap belts for the rear seat

[ChallengerHK]

Also interested in feedback on these. Like Brad, I like my collarbone the way it is.

I'm thinking I'll take the chance and order them. If they don't show up by April 2016, I can still drive with just the lap belt.

Ive actually spoke with the new owner several times....cool guy...Im going to order a set..just have some "needed more" items to get first

If you do, use a credit card so you're protected if things go wrong.
