Recaro Seat option?

[mbeach]

I'm annoyed by our seatbelts, and while surfing eBay I found these:

They are the factory seats for a Saturn Ion Redline -they are the same as our seats (Recaro Trend model).
But look at the seatbelt retainer -we need this, it would do a good job of keeping the belt buckle from getting slammed in the doors and subsequently cracking the door panels.

Anybody know someone with an Ion that we can test fit?

I got a Saturn dealer right by my office.. Hmmmmmm Maybr I'll pop in and check em out... That would ba a cool feature and should cost too much if the retainer could be had by itself.

so thats what causes the crack in the door panelnear the lock post? I always assumed it was from pulling the inside door handle to close the door.

I noticed that too. When I bought my VX, I had scratches all over the inside part of the door sill. And one day I went to close my door and i heard a loud crack sound and turned to notice my door was still opened. Finding the seat belt was pinched in between. My friends car has the stock Recaro's with the seat belt retainer. I was actually about to fab one up that connects to the headrest posts. hmm I'll wait and see what Moncha finds first.

I solved the problem by using the plastic slider that is already on the seatbelt. If it is up high enough it keeps the metal part of the seatbelt from being closed in the door. shawn

some mustangs (94-99s i think) have seat belt holder on the shoulder of the seat that attaches to the headrest post (or maybe its the piece that holds the headrest in place) either way it would more than likely be fairly easy to modify to fit.. im headed to a junk yard in search of a shift boot in an hour or so, if i can find one ill see what i can do and report back
