Exclamation 2 Series Seat Belt Clip For Belt Latch

It looks like they failed to include the clip that keeps the male belt latch from sliding down the belt.

It is a bear to grab the belt latch when it's already slided all the way down to the floor, and it is 1/2 foot behind you in length, and you are reaching around with your left hand to grab. It should be sitting there ready to grab at shoulder length. I can see my watch scratching up both the door plastic and the leather seat over just a short amount of time.

Why did they eliminate this part in the 2 series? It must cost 30 cents to manufacture and $1 to install - even if it was $5... why eliminate?

Where can I order?

Bravo OP, I share your frustration! Glad to know they can be ordered cheaply and, yes, I agree they s/b standard equipment!

they removed them for some reason.... the 4 series doesn't come with them either....

I think the 2 series comes with the button but the nice thing about the clip is that you can adjust it after you put the buckle in to leave some slack in the belt so that the belt doesnt push your stomach

worst case just snatch them from a 3-series loaner when you go for service
