Seat Belt location
I put in a new rear deck shelf but haven’t tapped the hole in the wheel arch area yet. With the retracter seat belt in that arch location always puts stress on the soft top when in folded position. It tends to raise the top when putting seatbelt on. Is there a set of alternate holes in the floor area just behind the seats? I didn’t want to pull up the glued carpet to see. Or maybe the wall just forward of package shelf? I’m almost certain the stock wheel arch location is better reinforced but thought I’d ask.

Re: Seat Belt location
Any chance on using one of the original roll bar hole locations as an anchor point?

Re: Seat Belt location
I didn’t see any alternative holes when I had my interior out. As I understand it even the wheel arch holes are not a good idea because the belt anchors should be above shoulder height to keep from putting downward force on your back in an accident. I have a roll(street) bar going into my 67.5 & will be mounting the belt retractors to it above shoulder level. I also plan on reinforcing the package shelf under the bar mounts.
