I'm considering installing the rear belts as well.

What are you doing for headrests? After being rear ended once I consider these just as important as the shoulder belts.

I was very nervous about cutting up my very nice interior. Although there is a factory hole for the belt it is difficult to determine where it is through the somewhat thick interior panel. After calling GoWesty they told me you can see the mounting hole from the outside through the vent. So using my tape measure and translating the outside measurement to the inside using the window as a reference I was able to determine fairly accurately where the hole was located and then cut with a utility knife......missed the center by about ½". Fortunately the retractable seat belt housing covered up my slightly enlarged access hole. Eventually I will need to install the driver's side rear ( once my 3 year old gets a little older), which will be a bit more challenging with the need to cut through the cabinets. > > > > Phil Trenholme > > '90 Westy > > Santa Cruz, CA >
