New MG5 Rear Seatbelts Issue

[johnb80]

Hi, We took delivery of our MG5 just over a month ago. My Wife has just told me that her friend had real difficulty with the rear seatbelts, the buckle keeps disappearing down into the seat squab. I've just looked at it and it's nigh on impossible to use single handed, the buckles do fall away as you push the belt part into them.

Anybody else have this problem or is there something wrong with our car?

No problems with my facelift 5 seatbelts.

I suppose it is possible that they have got tangled up under the seat. I took the seat base out of mine one day to get a bit of extra space for moving furniture and it was a bit fiddly getting the seat belt buckles to line up properly when I was putting it all back together again.

Neat trick

MG5 rear seat, belt buckle!

Anyone with young children and seat boosters will know where im coming from……. we just changed one of our girls child seats to a booster which uses the cars own seat belt to strap them in (and the isofix for the frame) When you are trying to first if all find the seat belt clasp in the seat...

Yep it's standard. I've got some silicon covers that go around the buckles to stop them going down the holes. I thought they were dear at about £8 for two, but have been marvellous.

Do you have a link for them that you could share please?

Same thing cheaper price as referenced in the earlier post #4

Amazon product ASIN B09N2G1YJV

 

[dragon2611]

Amazon product ASIN B09DHH99T5 -
if you don't mind the robot graphics on it these are 2 for ~£6 (Or they were when i looked just now)

Going to risk it at that price as whilst I rarely have people in the back of the MG5 when I do they usually have the issue with the seatbelt things vanishing down the hole and I think I've had one person knock the connector on the bottom of the belt buckle
