I you have bench style dinette with drawers below, the front facing seat has the belts fastened to a sturdy steel bracket. This forces that side's drawer to be short. You can examine this by lifting the cushion and board.

The rearward facing seat has no such provisions and I bet that you will find it difficult to have any dealer install the seat belts. For whatever reason FR doesn't provide them or offer them as an option.

How useful are the seatbelts anyway in a rear facing seats. They'd work only if you are rear-ended by a semi. IN the frontal collision it is a backseat that holds you.

You through bolted to what? You can have enormous bolts, but if they are not bolted to something substantial, they are useless.

I will be visiting family in Ohio which is two hours from the factory. Has anyone on here ever just gone directly to the factory for the warranty work? Seems like it might be worth the trip, but I can't afford to stay there too many days.

Thanks much!

Yes many times. Send Randy a punch list and make an appointment. They will make it all right.

Hi Edgewant,
We checked the handle on our 2013 and it too has the wiring. We bought the bulbs but failed to buy the socket. Do you have a part # for the socket? Thanks. Frank

Entry Handle

Thanks Edgewant, I ordered the sockets yesterday. Which wires to connect remains the last piece of the puzzle. There are 3 or 4 wires in that little hole. I will put my meter on them with the isle switch on and find which one has power. It will be really cool to have that handle lighted for evening use. Thanks again, Frank
