Ok my new thing to go all ocd over is the passenger side automatic seatbelt.
sometimes it won't slide forward when I open the door
I used to just turn on the car and open the door/close it to get it to work
but now it's just stuck
has anyone else had this problem and how did they fix it?

1) turn car on an off
2a) Bang on center console
2b) Bang on seatbelt motors
3) Drive around
4) open and close the door while driving around


Done and Done.

Team Tech 6pt is the serious fix.

or you could rock some homosexual 4pt bucklers until you have money, at least they would work

ya panda garage sells em
I dunno if i'd want to get em though
I think i'll just get some 5pt and rock that for a while
anyone know if there is a bar I can by to mount the shoulder harness brackets properly?
or am I just gonna have to get some aluminum plate and tubeing and make my own?

Canadian 240s have manual seatbelts to so check on Canadian forums if someone has the assembly for sale.

Or go to a dealership and get the S14 belts. There is a lifetime warranty on S13 belts. If they malfunction the dealership will put in S14s.


or at least thats what I've been hearing.

autopower has a roll bar with removable harness bar

that with some s14 seatbelts like R.W. said would be my way

just unplug it when its all the way back. Then take the motors out. Then manually put the shoulder strap on.

then you dont have to worry about a boa-constrictor type death trap. Even though were used to it, my friends still get ownd. Yes i point then laugh.

I'll look into that s14 seatbelt thing, cuz that would be awsome

and it is hilarious to watch some people try an get out
i'd almost want to keep em for my amusement

maybe some confusing as hell 5 or 6 pt harnesses in the future would be good

You don't want an Autopower in a daily. The fitment on those things is shitty to the max.

^^ didnt know that...hm
where would you place the shoulder strap mounts then? doesnt it have to be at a cetain angle so your spine doesnt snap?

I think they are mostly talking about not mounting the shoulder straps to the floor, something about pulling down on your spine being bad
rupturing disks or something
