3rd rear seat belt in 172 Cup

[muppetboy]

Thinking of buying a 172 Cup, but need 3 rear seat belts. Has anyone fitted a 3rd belt as 172 Sport ? Any ideas/thoughts?

hmm, i thought the cup came with 3 rear 3 point seatbelts ?

No can do. Went to look at one today and only 172 Sport has 3 belts in the back, didnt get the chance to see the belt mount on the roof.

Good news and bad news sorry

Bad news they arnt fitted in attempts to save weight there is a 3rd belt but its a lap belt.

Good news In some car mag reciently an owner was complaining that he hadnt been told that it wasnt present in the Cup. They fitted him one though at Renault. Im guessing all the mojtnign points are there so any Renault dealership could fit a 3rd full belt.

My parents years ago had some sucess with a belt conversion kit. No idea if there are still for sale though. It made the diagnol belt across the pasenger and was clipped to a load strap point in the boot. It never realy worked though as it took ages to get right and even then it only worked if the same person sat in the seat.

Have a go at Renault Im sure they could fix it up thought.

didnt think it had three seat belts in the back

isnt it sold as a two + two???

There are only 2 seats in the rear, as its classed as a 4 seater, so even fitting say a lap strap would it legally allow you to carry 4 passengers?!

Renault are taking the piss.. only 2 seatbelts in the back for "weight saving".

It wasnt done for that reason...

Summat to do with making it a 4 seater apparently!

who wears seat belt in the back ?

Rock...believe it or not people in the UK do.

My brother and his gf were over here for Xmas and we went away as a family and him and his gf climbed into the back of the 172 and put their seatbelts on....

then again...maybe it was indicative of my driving style?

Its the law mate...

are back seat passengers some how immune to the physics that take over when a car crashes?

I wont drive off unless the ppl in the back have their seat belts on no matter how much they moan. Dont want a 14 stone body flying towards me @ 70 mph!
