Subject:Middle seat shoulder belts

As many of you may recall, this thread started back in the beginning of
July.

I have been trying to get Metro VW of Philadelphia to install what has
turned out to be rear shoulder belts in my 86 GL as a retro fit.  VWoA
authorized that this be done for free.  The job has yet to be done.  So
far I have taken my van in at least 7 times (I stopped counting) because
the service department and the parts department don't seem to work
together.  There seems to be a sleeve that is backordered.  What kills
me is that when I called to check if the part had come in, I was told
this last time by the parts guy, that he had the part in his hand.
Prior to that the service end would reshedule me at 10 day intervals,
hold the van for a day, and then tell me the part was not in. urggggh!

I called VWoA again and complained.  While I was at it, I requested that
VW pay for the install of the left middle shoulder belt as per tech
bulletin # V689104. I hope I get it.

The saga continues..........
