V2 Seatbelt Retention Buckles (ABS) - Universal
Ever had your seat belt buckles slap the side of your vehicle? This can happen when the windows are down, top is down, doors are removed, rear seats are down or any combination of those situations.
These seatbelt retention buckles are easy to install and keep the buckle from moving. Leaves you with a clean look and potentially less noise.
Comes with pre-mounted double sided adhesive. This is our version 2 which has a larger contact patch and universal design which allows you to mount it on either side of the vehicle.
NOTE: Bronco application is verified to NOT need the hinge feature at all. Gloss carbon fiber version is hydrodipped.
INSTALLATION
Recommended temperature 75-85 degrees. Relatively low humidity.
This video is of a SIMILAR product. Install these where the seatbelt naturally lays. Do not use it to move the seatbelt to a different location or the adhesive can fail.
Clean the application area and make sure it is free of dirt, dust, debris, Armor All, etc.
Use of isopropyl alcohol is advised. Wait 1-2 minutes for it to dry.
Install in a very warm environment (70-80 degrees) and REFRAIN from use for 24 hours while the bond strengthens.
After application, the bond strength will increase as the adhesive flows onto the surface (also referred to as “wet out”). At room temperature approximately 50% of ultimate bond strength will be achieved after 20 minutes, 90% after 24 hours and 100% after 72 hours. This flow is faster at higher temperatures and slower at lower temperatures. Ultimate bond strength can be achieved more quickly (and in some cases bond strength can be increased) by exposure of the bond to elevated temperatures for 1 hour).
