    DIY: Schroth Harness Install

    Helped a buddy install a Schroth Quick Fit Harness in his E46 and made a DIY video:

    Don't want to be "that guy" but did you contact Schroth to ask them if the QFP can safely be used with the fixed back seats in the car (corbeau?). When we bought our Quick Fit Pros only the factory seats could be used and this was enforced at the track day tech inspection.

    Super dangerous to be running those harnesses with those seats. The quick fits are only approved (with good reason) for use with the stock seats and Cobra Nogaros. Traditional fixed back bucks are not designed or tested for the downward force than the quickfits place upon them. Schroth will 100% agree with this if he asks them

    He could recreate the same functionality with something like the Schroth Profi II ASM (another anti submarining 4 point) mount to a roll bar, harness bar, or something like the Brey Krause rear deck harness mounts.

    But, yeah... very unsafe setup in that video.

    Great way to get the seat to fold over in an accident, there are strong points on the rear parcel shelf that would serve the purpose of a proper anchor.
