Hey, looks like you're mailbox is full. Let me know when it's clear and I'll get you my info and you can let me know what you want $ for it.

Thanks for checking!

Passenger side (not sure if it matters).

PS. Anyone have a spare seat belt loop? I'm missing the passenger side.

Good to know there's still a separate lap belt restraint as a backup. I do have a replacement system to install once I start consistently driving with a passenger/ once the kid is old enough to ride in the front seat. Right now I drive on my own 99% of the time. That being said, it's a pretty...

Haha, never been worried before... it's actually for the passenger side. Got a 1yr old now and just looking to the future. I'm actually trying to fix the old one by replacing the plastic with a metal piece. I'll do some tests afterwards to make sure it actually works and post some pics.
