Rear Harness for '88 Legacy Wagon?

[David Mapes]

We take well care of our '88 and were going to sell it because we need to
get an over the shoulder seat belt for the backseat. We have a 4 year old
and the only other option looks like a $300 child seat, In our User's Manual
it mentions a reaer harness system that can hook up to it. After about 4
calls to Subaru dealers we finally got some to say they do make it but it's
$250 each.

One we want to keep our car and can't afford much better. Does anyone know
about this. We went to a u-pull but none of the cars had the optional rear
harness and the '91's which have them are of a different design and don't
seem compatible.

Anyone with any ideas, please help.

I have a coupla suggestions. Jamie is an enthusiast
(www.subiegalracing.com) that happens to work for a 'discount' OEM
dealer. Try emailing her through www.subarugenuineparts.com . MAYBE the
price will be a little better than local dealer.

As for finding used, some of the guys at www.ultimatesubaru.org are very
familiar with older soobs and MAY now of a junkyard car equipped with
the harness you need.

good luck
