Instructions:
1. Prepare the vehicle. Park your camper on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Turn off the engine and allow it to cool down. Put on your safety glasses and gloves.
2. Locate the mounting points. The rear seat belt mounting points in a VW camper are typically located on the floor, near the rear wheel wells. There may be existing holes or marks indicating where the seat belts should be installed.
3. Drill the holes. If there are no existing holes, you will need to drill them using a drill and the appropriate drill bit. Make sure to measure and mark the locations of the holes carefully before drilling.
4. Install the seat belt brackets. Place the seat belt brackets over the holes and secure them using the bolts and washers provided with the seat belt kit. Tighten the bolts until they are snug.
5. Attach the seat belts to the brackets. Feed the seat belt webbing through the brackets and secure it using the provided hardware. Make sure that the seat belts are properly adjusted and that they are not twisted or kinked.
6. Test the seat belts. Pull on the seat belts to make sure that they are properly installed and that they can support the weight of an adult passenger.
