Seat Belt Buckle Extender

Due to having a rear seat cover to preserve the fantastic individual BMW stainless quality leather, its a pain in the ass for the passengers to find the buckle due to it been low in the seat, has any one fitted these?

Even without a cover on the seat finding the buckles is a major PITA. I put those on my rear seat buckles long ago. However, the user is just as likely to release the extender from the buckle as they are to release the belt from the extender. To prevent that I wrapped the extender/buckle junction with black duct tape.

In my case the buckle is now not visible due to the seat cover so these should be perfect, just need to measure to make sure they fit.

Which ones did you get?

Ebay lists them in a range of sizes. When i got mine 2 years ago amazon also used to list a variety of them. I usually never buy from eBay unless i have to 😀

I got the size shown in the link, to extend the buckles just far enough so you can see them.

Really seat cover... you don't want to enjoy the leather before the car gets old and you trade or sell it.🤔

If it were a Mercedes,Audi etc I would but when you've had half the seats replaced (luckily under warranty) within 3 years & the price they ask id rather avoid a repeat.
