Red, I'd give serious thought to a conversion. A lap belt can cause internal injuries in the case of an accident. These are pretty darned safe cars and the lap belt was foisted on Saab in 88-89 until they could get an airbag to meet US DOT SRS requirements. A 3 point belt can save your life and that of your passenger. Please consider it. Regards, KeithG Red Raschke wrote: > Thanks Keith! Problem has been fixed, I think.
