Ok so my wife bought me the summit sport seats for xmas. Ive been having a hell of a time getting the brackets to fit just right that i had made. But it working, just needs a little tweeking.

New problem. Seat belts......

My factory seat belts cross right over the neck line, which is uncomfortable, and just down right dangerous.

I want to install my factory seat belt guides on these seats. But nobody can seam to tell me if they will work, do to the fact that not all seats have the kind of supports like fbody seats do.

Need some help guys........

 

I know you can put the guides on 6LE's seats, he has a writeup on how to do it, maybe someone will chime in with that one. He also sells add on guides for aftermarket seats you might look into. Heres a link.

Yeah, if you have a metal bar in the frame you can do what I did back in the day...

Basically, you drill through the seat material and into the bar and try to screw your factory guides in. Mine was a major PITA (and still comes off) as it is round bar in my frame.

I had to cut the leather with a razor blade, use a punch to try to dimple the bar, do my best to drill and tap it and then screw the guides in loosely as there is nothing for them to press against (if you screw all the way to the frame it bunches the seat up).

Easiest thing to do is buy the guides in the link that I make and just have them sewn on...

 

ok. yeah those will look pretty good. thanks, ill buy those. how hard are they to sew in? Can anybody do it or should i take them to a appolstery shop?

 

Any plan to do them in Tan? My plastic ones are crap.

 

The only hard part is that they are leather and you HAVE to use a thimble to push the needle through.

Most seats you can sew them on right on the seat though, I did it myself so it can't be too hard, lol!

 

Tan is no problem at all. I just had never thought about it... I can not promise they will match any tan seats perfectly but I can come close.

 

FYI to anyone interested... They are now going to come with a stitching lined around them to look more like the 2010 Camaro guides.

I'm doing my best to make sure there is NO extra cost either...

 

str8evil would you mind snapping some pics of the summit seats in your car? how do they feel? comfortable? are they worth the 189 bucks a peice?

Looks good Mike, damn i need some of those

 

how much do they weigh

 

Here is 6LITEREATER's thread on installing the stock seat belt guide on aftermarket MRC/Arizen/Recaro seats. The install for your seats may be similar:

Looks great man, how is the comfort? How high is the seated position compared to stock seats?

 

They sit just a bit higher than stock. l take a little time to get used to it, but i think it will be worth it. They are comfortable, You do feel like you are stationery with the sides coming up on you, but that was the idea anyway.

Definenately worth all the hassel.

 

weight?
