Seat belt pads, are you interested?

[9090GO]

Well, I am going back to China for holiday, I am going to get some car accessories while I am there, seat belt pads is one of them. The seat belt pads comes in set of two, $13 (at current exchange rate) ship to China, not sure how much would cost ship to Australia though. Once I purchase the pads, I will post the item from Brisbane, postage at buyers own expense. If there is enough interestes, I will contact the seller and hope get a cheaper price. At the moment, I am thinking bringing the pads back when I finish my holiday in February, but not sure how many sets I can bring into the country as I don't want to see my self on Border Security :D
There are too many to list, if the one you want is not listed (I am sure you can find what you need) PM me or reply to this thread. Hopefully this will workout, please note: I am now making any money out of it.

ill take 2 opel sets (4 pads)
if anyone else here is interested in 5 pads instead of just 4, im happy to go halves in an extra set with them, so i can get 5 pads.

so for me that would be $26 for the 2 sets, plus $6.50 for the set i go halves in. total = $32.50

[Vectracious]

Just thought I'd mention that on a Veccy B (and possibly on an Astra G - although I never tested it) - seat belt pads stop the seat belts retracting completely - so you will get the belt bunching up a little on the bottom.

Just a little thing, but some people might be picky about that :)

Can I count as 3 sets? Than if anyone wants 5 pads I will sump up the total, just want to make life alittle easier. ^_^

yeah, but if no one wants to do the half thing, then ill just take 2 sets (4 pads)
also if you dont feel like seperating the sets (halving) then just count me in for 2 sets.

i currently have 4 pioneer pads in my g, and yes they do occassionally cause the belt to not retract properly when you take the belt off, but all you have to do is give the belt a little upwards push and it fixes itself up.
the pads make your shoulder so much more comfortable on long trips though, and in summer, so its worth the small hassle.
but yeah, some people are very picky lol.

another way this can be fixed is by loosening the pad, change where you stick the velcro together.

In a Vectra B - the distance between the stop that the buckle rested on, and the opening of where the belt came out was smaller than the length of the pad. I think the only way to get it to retract completely was to set the belt height to the heighest possible setting.

i see what you mean now :D
yeah, but thats not a hassle, not for me anyway :)

Anyone interested? I am leaving next week, let me know.

Agree with the above...

I 1st got myself a set of these when I purchsed my 1st HSV in '99 the HSV version look great BUT only after a little while I removed them out of frustration because of problamatic operation !!!

They cause belt retraction problems and are not comfortable at all in any position when draping across your body, in fact I found them utterly annoying :(

The only good thing about them is they look good statically when the car is parked/stationary, they look a bit wanky IMHO when driving and draped across the front of your body...

Appologies to sound negative on these if anyones buying them, but that's from experience and I know other people who've given them up for the same reasons.

TBH I have to agree - I got rid of them for the same reason - they kept ending up between the top of my shoulder and the seat belt guide.

That, and I got rid of the Veccy so I would have looked like a dickhead driving around with HSV seat belt pads in a Subaru :p

[ROCCO]

you had HSV seat belt pads in a Veccy?? Dickhead :-)

[poita]

sorry pete, but i agree with Rocco. dickhead

*shrugs* I was young and stupid.

[poita]

just a bit older now hey pete :p

[Vectracious]

just a bit older now hey pete :p

don't remind me....

[Wraith]

The HSV ones do look very nice, it's the only reason I opted to get them when I did, wouldn't surprise me if alot of other people get em for any other model of Holden, if they don't have a HSV :)

As previously said, it's a pity these things don't work well :(

Yeah - originally had them in my VK, then when I got the Vectra, put them in that for a bit until they pissed me off - ended up giving them to some little brother of a friend who thought they were the best thing he'd ever seen!! At least I had them in a GM car - he went and put them in his dad's old XD Flacon :rolleyes:

Not to go off topic, but there are alot worse cases than that LOL...

Here's a couple of pics of a Mazda 3 with BMW M3 badges on it :eek: bwahahahahahahaha :D I know alot of Mazda 3 owners refer to them as 'M3' for short, but this is either a real retarded person or a real tool...this is on the outside of the car LOL, at least the seat belt covers/sleeves are on the inside of that Ford mentioned, some people :rolleyes:

oh dear god no

[9090GO]

It looks good, not sure why a RX8 to do with ferrari ??

[poita]

It looks good

are you on drugs?

[9090GO]

are you on drugs?

I don't do drugs,:D he did a good job I think, but there isn't a connection between Mazda and Ferrari, I don't get it...:confused:

[ASTRAY]

are you on drugs?

i think he means the wheels and the car together in general looks good, and i agree.
a bit (very) stupid putting ferrari badges all over it though.

[Wraith]

LOL guys, I thought that Mazda 3 I put up was bad, but that RX8 takes the prize for pure madness or biggest tool ever...end result might look good, but it's just so wrong !

I'd really want to hear the owners own words as to why he did such a thing, how the hell would he put up with the ridicule :confused:
