if
you want to argue that point, you can also argue why didn't vw put 3
point shoulderharnesses in ALL vanagons, when clearly they were ALL made
to accept the
3 pt shoulderharnesses..    thats one thing i never understood..

Chris,

Could that have had more to do with your local rules and/or a unilateral
decision by VW of Nth America?
On the other side of the planet,all T3s sold here in Oz..except for
panel vans and obviously single cabs,had rear 
passenger 3 point(lap/sash)seatbelts fitted...except for the middle lap
belt anyway....
