After a drive in your vanagon ... have you ever un-latched your drivers side
seat belt and slung it over your left shoulder to get it out of the way ....
only you have the metal latch hit your drivers side window?

Ever break your window doing this?

I'm not usually in a hurry, tho once in a while while bird watching I will
try to exit the camper unit quickly, only to have my belt CRACK loudly
against my window. Did it yesterday. CLANK!!! Startle me awake.

I'm on my 4th vanagon - and I've done this a handful of times now for 23
years. Thankfully I've not broken my window tho I thought I would have by
now. I've managed to hit it pretty hard sometimes. That will be a rude
surprise someday.

Just curious if anyone has managed to break theirs either by seat belts or
perhaps by shutting their doors too hard. Things I think about when I things
don't need fixin'.

Have a groovy weekend,
cheers,
dave
