while nissan does have a life time warr. try spraying a contact cleaner on the switch at the back of the rail. if you follow the track back,, its right where the seat belt would stop at. it worked on mine.

Ild rather have manual ones anyways. Im sure theres a way or its an option when you ask the dealer. Or install your self. More reliable and less motor parts to be broken.

harnesses are in most cases meant for cars equipped with roll cages.

If you are looking to be safe without breaking the bank, check out White Comets thread. He has a great set up. I would see you being quite pleased with that, all while still maintaining a safe automobile.

Good Luck.

One Love,

Ive had my car back from Nissan almost a week now. I think out of the 20 times I have gotten out of my car, I have unbuckled the shoulder belt 18 of them. I just cant remember to leave the damn thing plugged in.

LOL,yea right now Im just letting it stay buckled cause the spring broke in the... receiving end I guess you would say, I know you got yours fixed at a dealership I read that forum, I posted this one before I read it tho sry, but I printed off that info. about the warranties some one posted and plan on taking that to Sheeny Nissan and Ive also called Nissan America but they havent called me back but I have a name and ext. # to reach them. So I was thinking I should get everything straight with NAmer. before I go to the dealership
