Has the seatbelt 'burned' you yet? - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum

About 6 times so far I have been burned by the chrome seatbelt latch on my left tricep when getting into the car. I've been using the seat loop to keep the belt in place, but it puts the metal latch right where your arm rests.

It has got my brother in the passenger seat a couple times so far. I have remained unscathed.

Brimford · 07-08-2012, 04:57 PM

WolfsFang · 07-08-2012, 05:13 PM

Furtive · 07-08-2012, 05:16 PM

not me, but then again i live in alaska

HotLeopardMama · 07-08-2012, 05:25 PM

Nope--just the belt itself chafing my neck, but I'm 5'2", so my tricep doesn't touch. I'm close enough to the ground naturally to just lower myself into the car, lol. Sometimes being vertically-challenged works in my favor--except for the blind spot. :o\

colHolm · 07-08-2012, 08:00 PM

Yup, I got bit too.

Calidrifter · 07-08-2012, 08:56 PM

Not by the latch. My issue is with the seatbelt loop coming undon and the belt burning into my neck. I think it was the 2nd or 3rd time I sat in it I pulled the belt and the tab came off.

Prava · 07-08-2012, 09:29 PM

Once. And it hurt.

Xenith · 07-09-2012, 08:05 AM

Yup, about once a week..

b1pkkf26 · 07-09-2012, 09:32 AM

So far never had..... and hopefully it stays that way.

Subie · 07-09-2012, 05:40 PM

It just got me today.

Bonburner · 07-09-2012, 06:00 PM

Nope - almost 800 miles :X

sidnacious · 07-09-2012, 06:06 PM

Not yet, but the plastic(vinyl) side of the driver seat has burned me 3 times as I was getting into the car

Chewie4299 · 07-09-2012, 06:21 PM

No actual burns but yes the belt has got me a couple times. The steering wheel gets ridiculously hot in this car though!

Its like the exact opposite of what I remember most about my Evo wheel. The Evo wheel is wrapped metal with some bare metal pieces in the middle. That fucker got ice cold in winter. I rarely wear gloves in the car but with that wheel it was a necessity.

Don't some luxury cars have cooled or heated steering wheels?

My asphalt FR-S is by far the hottest interior I have had on a car

itsibarra · 07-16-2012, 01:38 AM

haha. i did once, was like, "WTF was that!??!" Then i saw the little button.

Style · 07-16-2012, 10:08 AM

it hasn't gotten me yet but it did get my wife. The little button on the belt loop got her not the actual belt clip.

MVJ1975 · 07-16-2012, 10:17 AM

Yep. I've got a nice round burn mark on my left forearm from the snap on the side of the seat.

FLIPs_FR-S · 07-16-2012, 09:24 PM

Burns me every time I leave work. The steering wheel gets hot as hell too! Gotta aim the vents so my hands stay cool.

Asphaltfrs1 · 07-16-2012, 09:52 PM
