Putting a 3pt Seatbelt in Middle Row Seat for Sportivo/Crosswind

**TholitzReloaded** · March 30th, 2011 06:43 PM

Is this possible? has anyone tried this before? One time I went to a Casa and ask a Technician there, they say it is he even should me the Pillar where the seatbelt should be mounted there already a screw/bolt hole ready. I just don't know if that's really for the supposed 3pt seatbelt which they did not put.

Does anyone know if other crosswind/panther abroad has a 3pt seatbelt in the middle row seat?

I guess not everyone is interested in putting more safety to their crosswind's or sportivo by just adding a 3pt. seatbelt in the middle row seat.

This shouldn't be too hard to do as long as you can get the retracting mechanism... though it's not absolutely necessary to have one.

However... You'll have to make sure that the mounting point is strong enough to hold the belt without ripping free in an accident.

I agree, I hope we don't need a crash test to make sure that mounting point will hold during accident..

Did other crosswinds versions like the panther in Indonesia has the same lap belt as our Philippine version Crosswind?

I'm thinking where to source out the retracting mechanism for the middle row seat, I'd go for an OEM if there's any just to make sure that the belt has been tested in other countries.

Oo nga, buti pa sa India may 3pt Seatbelt pero dito sa atin wala, I'm just thinking may 3pt Seatbelt dahil siguro sa sitting configuration ng Tavera their middle row seat is captain seat with arm rest same as the front seat.

Check the interiors mukhang mas maganda kesa sa interiors ng sa atin, pero bumawi naman tayo sa exterior luma yung itsura ng sa India.
