How does this work and when exactly is it needed?
We're getting a 1994 Mazda MPV (I posted about it, along with a few questions, in the Car Safety Forum) that has only a lapbelt in the middle row. It's a short, two-seater bench with headrests in both spots, but only a lapbelt on the passenger (really in the middle) side. The lapbelt male end comes out forward of the seat bight, and it retracts fully into the seat (only the metal part sticks out of the hole in the seat). I'm assuming this is one of the rare, emergency locking retractor lapbelts? If I understand seatbelts correctly, this is what calls for a belt-shortening clip, correct?
Will I be able to install our Husky in this spot?
