Default Aftermarket seat belts

Anyone have an opinion or has used these belts?
Do you actually use the shoulder belt part?

Yes, I bought a set from a vendor on this site. Looks to be the same belts.

The shoulder part works fine.

Looks like the Seatbelt Solutions belts. I only have the laps installed and they are fine.

I used SS for my replacement belts. Single retractor belts.

Webbing is tight and doesn't slide in the clip part very well. Once the length was set for me I don't move it, so no big deal.

Also the preload on the spring isnt enough. Its just dangles. It won't retract far enough and sometimes will get stuck in the door.

I sent them the original retractors, clips and other hardware from a parts car that I had. Swapped the red belts for silver. Look great.

Id rate a 7 out of 10 just because the clip doesn't slide on the webbing very well and the retractor needs more "pre-tension". It would be cost prohibitive for me to ship them back for adjustment, so if for any reason I have them out ever again, then, maybe I'll send them.

I installed a set just like yours yesterday. Went in easy and work great. Better than the set I installed 12 years ago. The only thing I would change is where the shoulder and lap belts connect together the old set had a metal piece that helped keep both pieces together, the new set doesn't. All in all a great set from Zip Coevette for $199.99.
