MINI Cabrio Seatbelt Prob

Postby Owen » Sun Jan 03, 2010 4:39 pm

This is one for the R52/57 owners. Gosia got pulled by the Gards yesterday for having no seatbelt on, but she actually did. Becuase the seatbelt is so low coming out of it's dispenser, instead of going up and over her shoulder, it goes across her upper arm and then down. No safe at all, and obviously looks like she's got no belt on.

Has anyone come up with a fix for this, other than adjusting the seat into a completely unfortable position?

Probably won't affect Sinead as she's not as tall as Gosia, but it's something I've noticed now after taking the car for a spin myself.
