Default Seat belt installation heads-up

I just purchased a set of used seat belts, and noticed that the way the belts were threaded through the double-slot adjusters wasn't consistent. I wondered which was the correct way to thread them through the adjuster (some had the free end of the belt going 'under'; some 'over'), so I looked it up.

I then looked at the belts already in my -4, and they weren't consistent, either. I really don't know if it's a real safety issue, but I suspect that one way may not be as 'right' as the other. :-) Just thought I'd mention it as food for thought.

Charlie, I checked mine and they were adjusted per the Crow instructions.


?LOCKING? the 3-bar Slide Adjuster shown in Steps 1-4 is VERY IMPORTANT. The 3-Bar Slide Adjuster must be located as close as possible to the Bolt-in bracket or Roll Bar (In Wrap Around design

Thanks for posting!
