difference in seat belts?

[Guest Tammy]

What differences are there , if any, in a 90 coupe verses a 90 drop top?

I don't know about a seat belt difference, but there definitely is a $ difference <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

i do belive that the interior is mostly the same, just the stuff behind the seats is different. why do you need to know?

[Guest Tammy]

I'm tring to figure out if they should "lock" when you step on your brakes. Like all my other cars, there is slack until you step on your brakes and then they lock up to keep you from going forward. I cannot get my seat belts to "lock up" so what good are they?

Can anybody help me understand this? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Do I have a problem?

Thanks Tammy

Answer is yes, they should lock when you stop abruptly. There is a pendulum device that swings forward during rapid deceleration (as in impact) to lock the retractor and keep your nose off the horn button. Actually no direct connection to brakes; no electrical device to lock it up. Seat backs are similar.

Hi Tammy,

I have a 90 coupe and mine don't seem to lock either, but maybe under hard brakeing they would. I thought they same thing as you,what good are they?

Maybe the two of you should meet, but I suggest not head on.

So Joe and I are the only ones that have noticed this? <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I did play around with stopping <img src="http://forums.aaca.org/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> and never noticed them locking like they should. Anybody else notice this? Please....
