chipa_12 Member 182 Member For: 18y 11m 29d Location: Canberra Posted 16/02/06 05:18 AM Share Posted 16/02/06 05:18 AM The Front Seatbelts are starting to cut into the interior. It looks like everytime the seat belts are extended it rubs on the body and over time it eventually starts to dig into the interior where the top part of the seat belt is attached to the car.At first I thought it was just a really badly designed interior but then I started to worry that something might be wrong with the seatbelts. Does this happen to all BA Falcons, are the XR interiors different or do Ford need to employ better industrial designers??Not really worried about look (except for the fact that it looks cheapo), more worried about safety.I dont know anyone else with a BA falcon so I cant really check...

My first thought was - what the fark is going on here.... then I noticed that the first row of stitching along the belt has started to come away as well!!!Looks like it might be back to FORD for another warranty job. Anyone else experience this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I got that prob also... It seems to me that if your not a big, 'seat all the way back' dude, your interior is prone to wear. Another design fault, sorry... standard feature.. of the falc.Back for warranty here also....... AGAIN!!!!Oh well, like they say.....
