feedback on Corbeau 3 point retractable seatbelts

[nik]

Hey guys. just curious if anyone is running these belts? http://www.wildhorses4x4.com/produc...ctable_Harness_Belt_2in/Corbeau_Harness_Belts It seems like a good option for a DD and also has the ability to hold you in off road. Just want to know how they mount and how you like them.

Thanks!

I've had them for quite a few years, mostly off-roading.

In general I have been happy with them BUT just to let you know I wouldnt expect the re-tractor to work like a new car. I ended up just locking it out and using it like a normal harness, negating the whole benefit of having them....oh well...

Same here, running them several years. I was hoping for a belt particularly for the passenger seat that my wife could use then the grand kids. It's a chore to adjust that far on the lap part. The top doesn't slide particularly well through the seat so I usually get asked to pulll it back in for them. As a retractable they're not that hot, as a 4 point they're OK, Overall they are probably as good as it gets for my needs.

Thanks for the responses guys. So how does it mount exactly and i'm assuming both straps go over each shoulder? Also what kind of seats are you guys running?

nik,

I tried them out for my kids but found out they were to small for harnesses. Shoot me a PM if you want a good deal for a set. They may be a little dusty, but are essentially new. I'll give you two for the price of one.

I was just going to order a pair, so are you guys saying they don't lock up like oem or they don't retract well?

 

[malonejy]

They don't retract as well as they could. If you're pulling them through fabric, they have a hard time retracting. If it's an open cutaway, or over the top of the seat, they should be fine.

My biggest concern was I bought them for the kids, but the kids were to small and it was easier just stick with the lap belts.

If nik doesn't respond to my offer, the same applies to you. Two for the price of one. Someone let me know or I will post them in the sale section. This post reminded me that they were sitting in the garage or else I would sold them before now.

I have just installed mine and they retract and lock great. I also have an 09 F250 and in my opion they don't feel any different. Have them with the Baja RS seats.

Mine are in Baja SS seats that have a single center slot. I have a horizontal bar behind the seats that the belt slides over with the retractor mounted on the floor.

Awesome! Thats what I wanted to hear! I just got a set of those seats. How far down behind the seats did you mount the belt??

The bottom connection is about a foot off of the floor and the upper is at shoulder height. I can take a picture a post tomorrow.

Here is the picture of how we connected ours. I am not happy with the way we have the piece on the drivers right side connected so we will be drilling a new hole for that, but they lock fast and look good so overall very happy.
