4 Installation of the outside front belt connectors
The front outboard lap belt mounting points are located behind
the plastic trim at the base of the B Pillar. Working with the rear
seat cushion out of the car (per step # 3), and the front seats
as far forward as possible:
Locate the lower trim panel. This panel runs the
length of the interior at the junction between carpet
and plastic. It is secured at the rear of the cabin via a
Philips head screw.
Remove this screw.
There will be another mounting location a few inches
forward of that screw. It releases with moderate
force. Be sure to pull straight up. The clip is pictured
below.
Carefully remove the rest of the trim piece. It is held
at the B Pillar with a tab shown below. Push down on
the trim in the vicinity of the tab, forcing the tab to
clear the B Pillar trim piece.
Once this tab is clear, you can remove the rest of this
panel.
Locate the factory mounting location of the lap belt at
the base of the B Pillar. Using a box-end wrench or a
shallow socket, Remove this bolt.
Bend the SCHROTH bracket as shown in the picture
below and place the SCHROTH bracket just under
the bolt head.
Reinstall the bolt as shown above.
Before tightening the bolt, align the SCHROTH
connector so that the webbing is pulling in the same
direction that the belt will pass over your lap when
connected.
Torque the bolt to 30 ft.lbs.
Be sure to keep the Schroth tail strap accessible as
you reinstall the plastic trim piece. Please take notice
of the range of flexibility for the mounting tabs as
shown in step 6.
5 Installation of inside lap belt and tail strap
connectors
Simply plug the SCHROTH VW-A-S-S “male” buckles (both
front and rear) into the factory provided female receptacle next
to the transmission tunnel.
6 Flexible range of the seat belt mounting brackets
Repeated bending could weaken the bracket and cause it to fail
when loaded in an accident.
Never bend the bracket back and forth several times.
Any pivoting brackets of the stock 3-point belts must not be
limited in their range of motion.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1 General instructions
Most states require that all passengers wear seat belts when a
car is in motion. Please check with your local authorities for
further information! Regardless of the law in your state, it only
makes sense to buckle up, so before you start your car, make
sure that you and all of your passengers are properly
restrained.
The SCHROTH asm ® harnessbelt system when properly
installed and used according to applicable instructions can
mitigate injury. Of course, the ability of any restraint system to
mitigate or prevent injury is directly related to the type and
severity of the accident.
