99 crysler sebring convertible
i wanted to have shoulder belts and kept looking in convertibles until i found those
and started calling junk yards until i found a set
long story.
The belts wouldn't comeout when I got the seats. So, figgering that they got busted in the crash, I special order seat belts (non-returnable of course) from the dealership. The new ones don't come out either...................hmmmm........what's up with that???
And just try and get anyone from the dearlship or factory to talk to you about how seat belts work
I finally make enough calls and get someone who will talk to me. The release mechinism is controlled by a solinoid that activates when it sees 12 volts and locks when the voltage is removed. Of course this is all controlled by the sebring computer. Which gets it's smarts from an accerometer located somewhere in the car.
So, for the present I have a switch by the seat that I have to trip whenever I want to be locked in.....and i mean locked in..... which means i can't reach any of the controls on the dash
I have bought an accelerometer and am having an electrical friend intgrate it with a microchip and hack some code and hopefully we will be road testing it soon. Hope he knows what he is doing
back to your questions.
I had to totally take them off their rails.
I wanted to have electric comtrols for both of them, (well actually the better half wanted her side to be electrci too
So, I bought these universal rails that are used for vans.
Had to cut out the floor, and have new plates fabed and welded in.
They do sit a little higher than stock even in the lowest condition. I installed a tilt steering wheel
, and they are pretty wide, so i don't know if they would fit in anything cept a wide body
But i love them
