Default just a heads up....

i never really noticed until i was cleaning my jeep out the other day.

look on the driver or passenger side (mainly the driver side) where the seat belt mounts into the seat by the height adjustment lever and back adjustment lever. If you notice, the inside of the seat belt is kinda scratchy and has started fraying the seat in that area. I could definitely see this tearing a hole eventually.

I wrapped electrical tape around the belt on both sides so that it will not damage it further.

mine was pretty worn looking.

just a heads up to those that never noticed!

I don't notice any wear on mine, but I wonder if it's because I've got the "YES essentials" fabric... Does yours have the "YES" fabric?

Thanks for the heads up, anyways!

i do not have the yes fabric... that may be a difference, or it could be confined to the belts not being meshed correctly. the end down there that is stitched to the belt is kinda sharp on mine i could probably taper it with a lighter, but i dont want to comprimise the belt itself

Similar problem w/ my 4 door. Rear left seat frayed and tore apart after putting seat up and down a few times. Seatbelt clamp was rubbing against cushion. Jeep replaced the seat bottom and reset the seat belt connector.
