Schroth Rallye 4 installed

[mazdaowner123]

30-45 minutes if you know what to do. To get to the screw that holds the cover on the right side of the drivers seat, I found it easiest to pull the center console out and slide the seat back and it's accessible. It's hard to see in there, though, to line the the screwdriver and screw.

my harness is coming in today. How long did the install take?

well, i don't have stock seats. there's no cover on the right side.

i looked at the how-to that was mentioned earlier in the thread. Did you everyone use the long bolt supplied? Was there anyone that tried using the short stock bolt?

It took me a few hours because I bought extra bolts I ended-up not needing. That and the grease on the airbag connector under the front seat wasted a lot of time; if you can do everything without removing the seat you'll probably a save a lot of time.

The single long bolt that came with the harness was all I needed, and that was for the rear center anchor point. The rest used the OEM shorter bolts. I used the long bolt because I got like 5 turns out of the short bolt, and Schroth recommends at least 9 full turns.

I also used a mix of stock and supplied bolts as long as everything fits securely.

And as already mentioned sliding the seat backwards and forwards to remove the center console and install the harness helps alot.
