Problems

Mounting the eyelet properly is difficult. Some sanctioning bodies require very specific mounting methods. Mine is mounted to OE seatbelt mounting location. Most difficult eyelet to install is the inside eyelet that is bolted to the seat. This eyelet replaces the bolt that holds the belt buckle. Mounting the shoulder harness also present somewhat of a challenge. I decided to mount the shoulder eyelets to the rear seatbelt lower bolts location.

Tips

Be patient. Make sure the eyelets are properly mounted. Make sure you get the H shoulder harness and the pull up lap belts. The pulldown lab belts are more difficult to wear.

Thoughts

The harness definitly holds better than OE belts.

Other

I did not get the submarine (crotch) belt due to comfort and no real way of mounting it short of cutting a hole into the seat cusion.
