ditto on the lap belt. This is very unsafe and another reason that the passive belts are a disservice. One thing you could do is to retrofit proper 3 point belts from a proper belt-ed car. I have done this on a VW and have read of doing it on a Saab C900 like yours. You need belts and a few trim pieces and the headliner (if you want it to look 'factory'). http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/faq/seatbelts/ KeithG davehinznopsamcop.net wrote: > Someone who looks an awful lot like Amy Young-Leith <alyoungnopsammarble.net> wrote: > > >>When I >>tested two in the passive restraint system, they were.
