    I have these adapters and find them not doing it job good enough. If they had and the belt just where slow retracting I would have tried a set of new belts.

    I experience that the belts folds in the adapter under use.


    as you can see it folds between the "roll" and the adapter as well, but that I think is because of the angel of the adapter.

    If the adaptar has been angeled like the end of the rule on this picture I think most of the problem would have been solved.



    Right now I see these alternative solutions

    1. Try the seatbelt extenders from CarbonMiata
    2. Get fabricate a better version of the Bossfrog adapter that leads the seatbelt in a better angle
    3. Replace the Bossfrog Clearview maxx with a nother roll bar.

    Another suggestions?

    Try CM's seatbelt extenders, they physically move where the seatbelt bundles - the boss frog Rollbar is physically in the way of the belt, even their own belt guides are angled wrong for the belt to retract properly.

    Simply a poor roll bar design by Boss Frog, honestly, a GT3 from moti - check out Adam's writeup of one.
    You want a good car. I want a good miata.
