Securon stalk placement

[gjz30075]

I'm having trouble with the orientation of the Securon stalk in an S3 with the wrap around console
pad. The seat will be fully forward. First off, the stalk is way too short and will need to be
extended but to what length? Do I go beyond (more forward) of the seat bolster? Because
of the wrap around (down the sides) console pad, it is a really, really tight fit, which makes access
to the release buttons nearly impossible, but for the belts to work properly, it needs to be low.

My Sprint has the oem stalk receiver placed exactly between the seat bolster and console but the
console also has a pad that does not wrap around so although the fit is tight, it works.

So, those with wrap around console pads and securon belts, what was your solution?

I suppose I could change the pad to a flat top style...

Hey Greg,

I am not following the issue but I am not very familiar with s3 interior.

However sercon offer quite a few different configurations:

So there might a better option than your current ones. I think the second number in the belt number refers to the buckle type and first to the retractor type. So probably looking at the options with matching first number.

Mark, I was jumping around a bit, sorry. I do see that maybe the "adjustable webbing" buckle
end might be a good option, thanks.

Yes good option, not like a modern car with the buckle attached to seat so adjustable is the way to go.
Works Ok on my S3.
