For those of you that have auto seatbelts in your festy, how many of you actually use the seperate lap belt portion?

The shoulder strap wont help you much w/o the lap belt. You'll just slide out of it in a crash.sigpic

Just wondering if it's worth all the work to put the auto belts back in my car or just modify the manual belts to fit....picked up a pretty much complete auto belt setup today w/interior trim panels for $25 but didn't get the lap portions due to rusted out bolts/parts. I wouldn't mind having the manual belts but I also want/need the auto belt trim panels to clean up the interior"Lane, I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."

I got a box full of seat belt parts. I could probably fix you up with the lap portion.sigpic

I think alot of people just use the auto belts to keep the cops away, but not using the lap belt will get you hurt.An idea can turn to dust or magic, depending on the talent that rubs against it.Comment

I put 4dr Aspire seats in mine so it doesn't have the section to hold the lap belts. I need to fab something up and this has reminded me of it.91 rusty Festiva 260kComment

I hate the auto belts... two of our three Festivas have them, as well as my MX6. I need to switch all the festivas to manual. But to answer the original question, yes, I always use the lap belt. Just imagine how pleasant it would feel in a wreck at freeway speeds... car stops, the top half of the belt catches you, the bottom part of you slides down... till the belt catches the bottom of your head
No festiva for me ATM...Comment

Safety doesn't matter in a festiva. If you're in an accident you'll die. >_< Seriously though, I wear it. Every bit helps with these cars.Comment
