| The tensioning clip for the rear and passenger side seatbelts has failed twice since purchase. these clips are made of hard plastic and have srings inside to provide tension to keep belt from slipping. the clips are manufactured in two pieces and snap together. i do not believe that these clips would hold up in a crash and would fail, allowing passenger and car seats to move foward.*ak | |||
