Re: “SeatbeltSolutions.com” - Anyone Installed Their Products?

I'd say that comes under the "we assumed you knew" line of instructions that is all too prevalent these days.

Guys writing instructions for parts installation should be required to study 40's and 50's factory service manuals where the writers did not assume that the guy in the shop had ever worked on such a vehicle before and wrote detailed instructions at a very simple reading level. No derogatory thoughts intended but if one had made it though the third grade reading class he could read and comprehend most factory service manuals in that time frame and know exactly what he needed to do. Make the instructions simple and make them complete and don't assume that the person reading them had ever done such a task before and everyone is happy.
