Hi

Just a quick one.

Does anyone know if a 3 door drivers seat belt will fit in a 5 door Stilo. If not why?


Cheers

I don't know for sure, but I'd say no. Often 3 door seatbelts are longer due to the fact that the b-pillar it comes from is mounted further back, and it may also have different mounting points for the reel and pretensioner.

Not 100% sure so would wait for someone in the know to pop along(y)

Yes, a 3 door has a longer belt. What is the problem with it?
If the belt itself is good, you can usually take it out of the tensioner/ recoil mechanism and swap it over. The tensioner/ recoil will be the same, just with a different belt in it.
 
ok thanks for the reply.


I will get it tomorrow to try it. My thoughts was it would just be longer and not cause a problem. can't change it over, the old belt is split.

Make sure your belt does not get caught in between the seat and adjuster, it splits.


Cheers

You can't beat fitting the correct parts.

I had plenty of problems with my daughter's old Sei before I realized some clown had fitted too short a belt. Would have helped if they'd also put a warning on the dash "Suitable for very slim passengers only" :D

How it got past an MoT I'll never know :mad:
