Do westfalia seats have built in seatbelts?

Post by Tallulah43 »

Hi ya
Just wanted to ask if all Westfalia rear seats have built in seat belts.

Have just bought one off ebay, hubby gone to fetch it now (thought it would save the hassle of making one). Have spoken to bloke and it is a genuine westfalia seat/bed but just looked at picture and it doesn't look like it has belts on.

Unless they've been used recently, the seat belts are probably underneath the seat - they have a tendency to slip down there as you open and close the bed.

Well, yes - just as seatbelts generally are, aren't they? I've never seen any attached to the seat rather than the vehicle.
