Crow is still selling the shoulder strap sewn to the lab belt. Did they change the way it was sewn, or was it just not changed at all?

I dont have any pix, but if you have the shoulder straps that are sewn into the lap belts you have the ones that need fixed. Not a hard fix at all Crow is good at getting you fixed. I just did it last week, I called them on tues. and had the fix on weds. that to me is great customer service and i will be sure to use them in the future. |

Brad I can see you are a safety & a pay attention to it man, why do you blame the seat belts or how it was installed? Did you know that there is places in off-roading you can't travel that fast? People need to prerun the area that they need to speed on. There is land out there you can go fast on without testing your frame or your seatbelts.

If someone is not planning on following the instuctions on how to "correctly" install seatbelts it seems to me like that would be kinda like lets say driving in a place and in a fashion that you are "NOT" supposed to
Why would'nt someone follow the "manufacturers" instructions on something of such importance  _________________ "Press 1 for English" "Press 2 to be disconnected until you learn English"

Thanks Cathi. I think your response and Crow's response (along with all of the manufacturers) shows the community feeling of the Glamis faithful. This issue first surfaced on glamisdunes.com and migrated here out of concern for the off-roaders on this site. BTW ... sambanistas ...

Clearsurf you need to go to buttercup for the fastest cars in the sand. |

Saw that my name was on this thread, so thought I should jump in and join in.
As with any seat belt the safety of it will differ with the amount of G force of an impact, the amount of weight behind the belts(persons) then adding in the size of a person and how well tightened the belts were to the seat.
My size is a smaller frame say 112 lbs. I could take more G forces in a crash on my belts... due to the stretch factor and weight behind them than say a 200 lb person.
So please make sure your belts on on tight, correctly and are always updated after 2 years or so. Sun and weathering of the straps will also lessen the belts safety if left out in the elements.
Just want my off roading brothers and sisters to be as safe as possible out there
Cathi~

Driver error. My saying in the construction field is: “The difference between amateurs and professionals is that professionals know what they’re not capable of.” and no amount of nails and glue (or buckles and stitches) can make up for that. _________________ Mercenary Con$truction
