Rear middle seat belt.

celicatoe46m3 · 05-29-2015, 09:52 PM

Just got the car for about a week, I can't figure out how to use the rear center seatbelt.

I only have the belt from the rear top center... with 1 metal clip. Is it supposed to clip into the seat somewhere?

There should be a small buckle on the driver side half of the rear center seat, it may be tucked under the padding. The metal buckle should plug into it and then it should work as a standard seatbelt. Let me know if you need any pictures.

Thanks for the reply!

It seems like I can't buckle the top to the base in the middle seat. It's like it doesn't fit. And even if it did fit, its only a 2 point seatbelt. =)

There is no 3rd buckle to go into the other side... pics would be great if you have it handy.

Find the small buckle (label 1) behind the seat.
Sometimes its hard to get and you have to pull the seat bench off to get to it. Pretty easy, it just unclips upwards as one unit. See video of E39 seat removal which is the same

You're awesome.

It seems like #1 was tucked away, I'll need to find it.

Right now, the middle belt is clipped at the top middle area. It seems quite stuck. Is there an easy way to release it?
