  View original topic: Shoulder belts in rear of 68 beetle
68vwbo Thu Nov 05, 2009 7:27 pm

This is my first beetle and I'm looking for some assistance. Has anyone installed retractable shoulder belts for the backseat of a 68 beetle? My big question is where to mount the shoulder bracket and the retractor itself. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Take a look through the search feature. . .http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/search.php?search..._chars=200

At quick glance I saw several posts that might help you right up top.

Thanks for the help. How did you get the nut that far up in the rear body quarter to secure the mounting bolt?

There is a screw fitting already there for exactly this purpose.

In the picture on the right, you'll see a screw plug just above the popout window mount in this 1968 manual.

Yours is probably under the headliner.
