Seat belt holders
I purchased the seat belt holders recently (one week ago) and am not happy with them. I assume that since I own a convertible these fit differently. The angle of extraction/retraction causes the belt to fold and/or flip upside down which binds it. Were these not really intended for the convertible?

I may end up selling them soon.

This product is a total joke. I was laughing so hard at the item description.
"You can finally have the convenience of having your seatbelt at your fingertips without having to search! Also keeps the belt in view as you get in your Mini to Motor, to remind you that safety is the law and important. Only meant to be used as a belt guide - please don't use as a hook for your purse or allow small children to swing from it."

Agreed on the uselessness of the after market offerings for a seat belt guide. After purchasing our second Mini (Clubman-Hyde Park), I decided enough was enough and looked for something out-of-the-box. Found these and thought they didn't look too bad (from a 2008 Chevy Cobalt). Ordered the parts new from my local Chevy dealer, $16 for the left and $12 for the right. Just one hole to drill to line up the headrest holes and (as the English say) "Bob's your uncle". These molded plastic so they should be very durable and should not break.

Non Mini Seatbelt Guide
Thank you BandB! Your suggestion of 2008 Chevy Cobalt seatbelt guides was great.
I purchased a matched set in black:
GM OEM 10385983 Front Seat-Seat Belt Guide Drivers Side
GM OEM 10386174 Front Seat-Seat Belt Guide Passenger Side
Elongated one hole on each with Dremel to fit Mini Headrests.
Works great to hold seatbelt up; no more slipping down. Looks OEM and seems strong enough to last for years.
Thanks again.
