INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1 General Instructions Always leave original equipment seat belts in place and available for use. Use of improper attachment points will impair system performance. We strongly recommend that you leave in place all BMW factory provided 3-point restraint systems originally supplied for the front and rear seating positions of your vehicle when you install the SCHROTH asm harnessbelt. Removal of original equipment restraint systems may also violate applicable State or Federal law.
Pop off the black plastic cap to expose the retaining bolt. Using a T50 Torx head socket, back out the bolt. Place the SCHROTH connector just under the bolt head and reinstall the bolt. Before tightening the bolt, align the SCHROTH connector so that the webbing is pulling in the same direction that the belt will pass over your lap when connected. Torque the bolt to 30 ft.lbs. If desired, trim the plastic cover around the SCHROTH bracket and clip it back over the bolt.
3.4 Outside lap belt mounting points – E36 Sedan Unbolt the seat from the floor mounts. Move the seat all the way back and remove the front floor mounting nuts using a 16mm socket.

Tip the seat in toward the front of the car to expose the BMW anchor bolt at the rear side of the seat-mount bracket.

To reinstall the black plastic cap to the top of the bolster, you have to pop out a plastic pin from the top of the cap.
