Putting rear seat belts in the GT2

[timmo]

I took my little girl ( 11 years old ) out in the GT2 last week
she sat in the back and although she was securely positioned in the back with no belts
Ive decided it better to have them installed after reading another post which mentioned about fitting seat belts in the rear of the GT2
although there is no seat as such she said it is comfortacble sitting on the rear carpet .

I looked into this 4 years ago when I originally wanted to buy a GT3 comfort
but Porsche would not retro fit the belts

As mine is a comfort and not a Club Sport any problems I could experience ?
bearing in mind my GT3 RS has the rear carpet out and the rear seat belt fixings are there although plugged ! ( it was a C4 shell )

Personally I wouldn't even consider it, to many moral/legal ramifications...

She rides a monkey bike /drives my Defender and has had been driving a fiesta at driveadrome in Hornchurch several times changing gears in a controlled enviroment so she not a sissy girl
+ its not for long journeys
Im not a lunatic and have 0 points on my licence ( not many can say that here ) !

I have them in the back of my GT3. Kids very occaisonally in there for short run to school etc. Previous owner had them fitted. Kids are comfortable, though my 11 uear old girl is now 5'2", so leg room is running out!!

So long as it has the tilting seat backs, I don't see any problem whatsoever in a GT2, and I may well do the same in my GT3.

With a bit of common sense it is perfectly safe. Just check that there is no risk of whiplash if someone runs into the back of you.

It is important to notify your insurers though. Just say that you have retro-fitted the rear belts for occasional use by your children.

i have had a few people in the back of my gt2... its acutually more comfortable than in the back of my brothers old c2s... would not like to crash as you would not be insured...!!!

I'm sure there is issues with the insurance regarding this! I might be wrong but i'm more than positive if the car is a 2 seater (no seats in back) they will not cover you!
