Product Description
A seat belt that is a few inches too short can be uncomfortable or impossible to fasten. That can happen with larger drivers, with bulky winter clothing, or after a seat has been moved or replaced. The Seatbelt Planet Seat Belt Extender for 3-point lap/shoulder belts adds length in a way that is designed to be safe.
Why This Type of Extender
Many extenders on the market have a buckle on one end and a tongue on the other, and simply click into the existing buckle. Seatbelt Planet points out that this design can be dangerous, because an aftermarket tongue may not stay latched in a factory buckle under load. Seatbelt Planet's extender is a bolt-in design instead. It installs in line with the seat belt's end fitting and is certified to FMVSS 209 and 302.
Features
- Easy to install for front or rear 3-point retractable applications
- Extends the retractor webbing length
- Available in 30 popular webbing colors
- Choose 6", 9" or the standard 12" length
- All measurements have a +/- 1" tolerance
- Meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 209 and 302
- Each extender is sold individually, for one person
- Proper mounting hardware and instructions included
Fitment
The extender fits virtually all cars, trucks and vans with 3-point retractable seat belts. It is made for 3-point retractable belts only. Important: it will not work on lap and shoulder belts with dual retractors. If you are not sure what type of belt your vehicle has, look for a single retractor that feeds both the lap and shoulder portions. If your belt has two separate retractors, this extender is not the right part.
Choosing a Length
The Size menu offers 6", 9" and 12" lengths. Choose the shortest length that solves the problem, since too much extra length can let the belt sit too loosely. Measure how much more webbing you need with the seat in its usual position and with the clothing you normally wear.
Choose a Color
The Webbing Color menu has 30 options, so the extender can match the rest of your belt. Choices include black, charcoal, grey, silver, tan, camel tan, desert tan, brown, dark brown, maroon, blue, cobalt, electric blue, dark green and many more.
Ordering
Each extender is for one seating position. Use the quantity menu to order up to four.
Installation Tips
Follow the included instructions. In general, the extender bolts between the vehicle anchor and the belt's end fitting using the supplied hardware. Keep the webbing flat and untwisted and tighten the hardware securely. After installation, buckle up and check that the lap portion lies low across the hips and the shoulder belt crosses the chest and collarbone. If you are unsure, have a qualified shop install it.
