Has anyone come up with an idea to allow seatbelts to retract better when a tonneau is fitted ? Despite folding in many ways the material still touches the belt stopping it’s retraction, therefore the belt would have a lot of slack should an accident occur, no pre-tensioner on Morgan’s so faceplanting the dashboard would be a certainty.

On my 4 seater I have a bar that I fit behind the seats - helps with folding the tonneau cover, and keeps it off the seatbelts allowing them to retract properly. Might be possible to do something similar on a 2 seater? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/08/08/IMG_20220808_122502.md.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/08/08/IMG_20220808_122507.md.jpg)

I have this issue when my hoods folded, and have solved it by using velcro straps to tighten up the hood just enough to keep it off the seat belt. I still have an issue with the seat belt that doesn't like to release itself when in motion, no problem when stationary. Guess the mechanism it very sensitive when driving. Have ordered some of that lord or the wings suggests as it sounds good, and might also cure my stiff moving side screen windows from opening, as the website suggests this can cure the sticking tracks.

Well Tunap 104 certainly makes my seat belts retract much smoother, and it slightly improved the slide of the perspex window so quite happy with the product
