Schroth Harness Install
I'm trying to install the passenger harness and the Torx screw on the rear seatbelt (near the rear wheel) is not coming out. It feels like the backing plate holding the bolt has come undone and is spinning. How easy is it to access the plate from underneath the car?
thanks!

Thanks for the help! I tired to take a look under the rear wheel well, but couldnt see where the bottom of the bolt ends. I just hope that I don't have to pull off the whole rear sub frame to get at it. I'll also call my Mini dealer tomorow to see if they have any ideas.
This simple install is turning into a big project :(
thanks!!!

Here's everything you need to know:

The back bolts are a real P.I.T.A. They are stuck with grime and sealant and need major force to move.

rear seat belt bolt
I was under my MINI (for other reasons) one day, and I noticed the Schroth bolt, as it was a different color from the stock ones and I was trying to figure out what it was. So at least on my USA 2004 MCS, you can see the drivers side rear seat bolt from the bottom with out removing anything.
As for getting a grip on the "nut" I bet that won't be easy. I think I would find a way to make it the dealers problem, then after it is fixed, put in the Schroth.
(I have the original bolt for the car in my glove box, so I can put it back in some day).

I found where it comes through, if we are in fact talking about the rear seat outside torxs. If you jack up the car (use jackstands please) you will see it come through just behind the rear subframe. Not sure why it is just spinning unless the bolt stripped as the reciever is welded to the body.
Let me know if I can help more as my car is still up on jackstands for a few days
