Subject:
Dealer Installed Rear Seat Lap/Shoulder Belt Kits Models: 1988 and Prior Passenger Cars and Light Duty Trucks

In 1986, General Motors made a commitment to become the first American manufacturer to provide rear seat lap/shoulder belts as standard equipment in new domestic light vehicles. In addition, GM released dealer-installed Rear Seat Lap/Shoulder Belt kits for most current and past model vehicles.

At this time, certain belt kits are still available from GMSPO. Some passenger cars can still be retrofitted with belt kits in the correct matching color, while other cars can only be retrofitted with black belt kits. Light Duty Trucks only have retrofit belt kits available in black.

With seat belt use required now in most states, public acceptance of all kinds of occupant restraints is increasing. As a result, you may see an increase in requests from vehicle owners.
