Could you all tell me if you have this (using picture from a post in mustangforums) on your passenger side?

I have it on the driver's side, but not the passenger's side...and that seatbelt sure whips back. I just know it will be scratching up the plastic and/or window.

Thanks,
Todd

 

Oh...that's what that thing does

 

No. my '07 doesn't have it either.

 

I've been screwed as well!

 

How lame is that. Save five cents per car. Gheesh.

 

That's a no for me as well. Not too concern about it though...

 

The seatbelt retainer strap is only available on the drivers seat.

 

Well, I can see this is true for the 07s, but since the 05s and 06s had it, I wonder why they took it off?

 

??????????????????????????????????????

Dude..... that is just............... weird............

 

ok, i am lost.... what are we looking at? what is it supposed to do?

 

It's part of the weight reduction program. This modification will reduce your 1/4 mile time by .00001 seconds.

 

Then I'm taking "both" of mine off!!!

 

It's called "de-contenting" and it's been done for years. My wife's 94 had the nice door inserts and everything, while my buddy's cherry 98 GT was just plastic.

It's a continual trade-off... the guys with the older cars have to play keep-up with the technology and Hp, while the guys with the newer cars a lot of times have to retrofit the options from the older cars that are no longer available onto theirs.

Of course, showing off my active anti-theft window-down feature is just rubbing it in...

 

And I agree, that is weird to remove the strap all of the sudden on the '07's. Wonder what the reasoning is.

 

Nope not on my 07

 

how does that thing work?

 

Does it get in the way of passengers entering and leaving the backseat? I dunno. I'm only guessing. Although trying to fit anyone into the backseat has it's own problems.

 

No...it is not on the 07...hubby has it on his 06......we got screwed.....

 

It simply holds the seatbelt to make it easier to grab. The end of the strap has what "looks" like a button or snap on the end, but it's not. It's held in place by a magnet.
The strap works great except that it comes loose very easy. And that's how the back seat pasengers get in. You just pull on the seatbelt (or the strap) a little and it comes loose, allowing the seatbelt to go back to it's "natural" position where it's out of the way.

I couldn't live without the one on the driver's side.

 

The magnets were for the '05s. The '07s switched over to a plastic snap.
