This bolt-in kit converts either the right rear or left rear seating location in any 1980-91 Vanagon to a three-point retracting seat belt system!*

Starting in 1989, all Vanagon passenger vans came standard with three-point retracting seat belts in both outboard rear seating locations. However, no pop-top Vanagon was ever offered in the U.S. with three-point belts for the rear seating locations. Strange, indeed.

NOTE: This a conversion kit for vehicles with factory-installed lap belts in the rear, it is NOT a replacement for factory three-point systems.

This kit now includes the female buckle part of the belt system. If you previously purchased this kit and did not receive this receiver, you will need to purchase it separately, here.

Kits sold individually. If you need to equip BOTH sides, you must order TWO kits.

Instructions and all necessary hardware are included for all applications.

*If you have a Vanagon full camper and you plan to install this system on the driver's side (with the cabinetry) you MUST order our KT122-LHC kit.

NOTE: NO RETURNS IF INSTALLED

Pretty straight forward installation. Passenger side is very straight forward. Drivers side if you have a full westy is doable as well but takes a bit more figuring out. My van has contact paper hiding the AC lines in the cabinet. In that cabinet is where the other threaded hole is. I figured it out with the help from the instructions from Gowesty.

We needed to add a shoulder belt to the back bench seat of our Vanagon so our grandson could ride in it while sitting in his booster chair. The new shoulder belt was well designed and is sure to be a it with our grandson.

I feel much more confident shuttling the kiddo around in a 40 year old van with a modern seat belt. Easy install and nice finish when paired with the cabinet finishing kit.

The seat belts were straightforward to install, and the materials and overall build quality appear to be good. They seem compatible with booster seats where a locking mechanism is not required.
However, for use with child restraint systems, these belts are not adequate. The retractor does not function as an automatic locking retractor (ALR). Without a locking mechanism when fully extended, it is not possible to achieve a secure installation of a car seat.
Additionally, the buckle stalk (female end) is too long. This causes the latch plate to sit too high—positioned in the middle of the back of the car seat—preventing proper tensioning and secure positioning. As a result, the car seat cannot be tightened sufficiently or held firmly in place.
In comparison, the original lap belts provided a more secure installation due to their shorter length and more stable geometry.
Based on these limitations, I would not recommend these seat belts for use with child safety seats, as they do not allow for a proper or safe installation.

Works very well...after adding a metal 'extension' bar so that the Belt would retract more easily over the should of the riders.

Easy to install

Much easier to install than I thought it would be. Weird that they didn't put these in from the factory.

Child Safety!

If you have kids and want to take them around in your Westy and not worry about safety. GoWesty has the kit that allows easy install and now my kids can ride worry free in the back.

Bought and installed two

I installed these for the rear bench seat on the driver's and passenger side and they fit nicely. The passenger side install was much easier, so if you only need one then I recommend doing it on that side.

Does the job, easy to install

The passenger side belt is easy to install, with simple straightforward instructions. I hope I never have reason to write a review of how well this product meets its actual purpose though.

Seat Belts

Great replacement for those old, tired, non-retracting seat belts. Note: installation requires the use of a torque wrench

Easy fix for peace of mind

I bought two of these, along with the finishing kit for the rear cabinet to go with and was not disappointed! Super easy to install, and I feel much better about letting my kids ride in the back now.

Great Safety Fix

I installed these so I could have my family in the back seat safely. They were easy to install and work great!

A little extra safety for the littles

Added these and headrests to the back seat of our '91 Westy. Makes us feel a bit safer when traveling with the teens and tweens. Easy install.
