Personally, I love the smell of wetsuits in the morning

The care kit I ordered from Wet Okole comes with an odor eliminator bottle (beside a shampoo bottle and a surface UV protectant bottle). Maybe you can use the odor eliminator bottle to eliminates its own new smell odor, huh? LOL.rawhog said:OK. So a question for the masses.

Volusiano said:Thanks. That's pretty clever. I didn't think about removing the buckle off the strap and put it back on later. I just followed the tip and redid mine and now it looks all nice and tucked in now.rawhog said:What I did was remove the buckles from the cross straps. Then I stuffed the strap in between the upholstered part of the seat and the plastic trim that conceals the adjuster rails.then I pulled the straps through, put the buckles back on, and cinched it down.

Assuming of course you are mechanically inclined....
I recommend unbolting the the front seats (16mm bolts) but leave the cables connected. I propped the seats up with the box my Airport Extreme router came in and it worked fine. Save yourself some time and have medium and small zip ties handy to neaten up the loose straps.Volusiano said:It sounds like the easiest way is to take the seat off (make sure you carefully disconnect the electrical harness) in order to tuck and tie everything in neatly. Otherwise it's going to be tough to get it done, but it's doable. If you have somebody in your family who's a smaller size (a smaller kid) to help out, it may make things easier.
I had the same problem you have in terms of keeping the rear seat belt buckles up high enough and remain high and not go back under. I'm surprised to not have heard from anyone else complaining about the same thing until now.csriram45 said:The front seats were done the back seat is all but done and I can not figure out how to get the damn seat belts (center and passenger side) through the seat. All this I have tried single handed and I think its next to impossible doing single handed. I will try tomorrow with help. However like others have mentioned I think there has to be a something to ensure that they dont go back inside. Feels like they are bit too short. I was wondering if having something small and sturdy/hard right around the area where the belts can go inside will prevent them from slipping back in. From what I can see the seats are cushioned enough so it should not be of any discomfort to rear occupants. What do people think?
....
I am hoping I can solve the belt issue and finish the rear seat soon and feel good about it.
Eric, are you talking about the actual belt itself? If so, the entire seat cover (rear, upright part) goes BEHIND that belt.ewleaf said:..... I noticed there is a small slit in the bottom which, I assume, is where the bottom of the seatbelt is supposed to feed through. Do I have to unbolt the seatbelt to accomplish this? ...... Please help! Thanks in advance.
