MNlotus Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 i got a new seven and when i tried putting on the harnesses for the drivers side, it seemed wrong. the insert for the 5th point is facing up instead of down which makes all the belts crooked and fit weird. the passenger side is fine and is normal but from the pics you can see it looks up side down when its connected. whats the easiest way to fix this?

slomove Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I guess that is an attempt to have the buckle inboard to avoid skin damage when dangling outside. But definitely not the right way of doing this. I swapped the fixed side lap belt on my 5-point buckle and it was a pain in the neck with little springs and bolts flying all over the place but it is possible.

pksurveyor Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 The driver side is wrong. The buckle and the insert need to sway side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Seems like you should be able to swap the two lap belts halves on the driver seat and then the slot for the 5th strap would be on the bottom. Am I missing something here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something here? Agreed....just swap the two lap belts on the drives side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
