Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General General rear center seat belt and folding seats

after a quick search with no luck I have this quick question. does the center rear seat belt unlatch were it looks like it might so that it is not in the way when you fold the seats down?

the belt is not in my way since I put my bike in the car but it would be nice to not have the belt pulled out when the seat gets folded down.

There is a little pinhole on the bottom of the seatbelt (near where seatback meets seat) that you can insert a pin into to eject the belt and roll it up out of the way. Pics coming soon of it.

My apologies for being such a quick scan. It's a full page of Consumer Reports (January/1999) of a review of a 1999 Contour with the split folding seats. See left margin for the procedure how to remove the seatbelt. I apologize for it being a 1.5 MB bitmap file, but I lost my conversion tools on that comp during the reformat and this is a quickie.

You're lucky you have split folding seats! There were many times when I was driving the Contour that I wish ours had!



EDIT: I transferred to another comp and converted to JPG, and cropped the part you need.
