I keep forgetting to look on Temu or Etsy...considering I have an account on both

I should have ordered a bag full…or £15 worth.
Sold ‘em on the forum, would make fortune

Had to Amazon some more black ones... a bag of 30 just to use 1 or 2 for a much needed Land Rover seat belt mod
Hi Mole HD, any chance of a photo showing how you typically use these to hold the third row seat belts securely out of the way when not using the 3rd row seats? -

Nearest IKEA is in Inbhir Nis...but you probably knew that already... I thought at least you'd be a bit more sympathetic to a poor islanders plight
I thought of Kirkwall, someone there will have some on a shelf...but even that's still 3 hours away on a ferry

Yes, but it’s not going to be a proper shop, just a pick up point in Tesco by the roundabout from Hell. 🤣 -

Hi Mole HD
The Amazon description for these black food bag clips states that they are 6cm and 11cm long. However, the drawing shows them as being 5cm and 10cm long. What is the actual length of the clips you received?
As the seatbelt straps are approximately 47mm wide did you find that you were able to use the smaller clips or did you have to use the larger clips?
Also did you find that you had to trim them internally to take two thicknesses of seatbelt strap? -

They haven't arrived yet Zig...being way up here adds a few days to postage and shipping times. I'll let you know when they arrive

Crisp bag clips arrived today, small 5cm ones were a bit of a fiddle to get fastened...tried both the long ones and short ones...both looked fine in the matching black but decided the short ones just looked better
Long 10cm ones...
...and the short 5cm ones. Job done

The long ones are less of a fiddle to get clipped shut, so if you use the 3rd row seats a bit...less faffing about. The short ones though...they kinda look like they're meant to be there
The only time I raise the 3rd row seats is to give them a clean and hoover every now and then...

All the crisp bag clip mod does is hold the 3rd row seatbelts securely in the useless LR clips by pushing down on the belt buckle so they don't keep slipping out or catching on the load cover every time you open or close it.
I've seen all sorts of mods for the same thing...giant paper clips, selotape or black electrical tape wrapped round the belts...they're as varied as mods go but most folk have tried one or more of them. I opted on the crisp bag clips...like PRH did.
I chose the bag clips mainly because it doesn't prevent the seatbelt operating when an MOT tester goes to check the rear belts, it's temporary, you can just unclip them for the MOT...where as wrapping the belts in masking/electrical tape could be classed as impairing their operation and may possibly fail an MOT on safety grounds or at least warrant an advisory

It's all about that loadspace cover catching on the belts when opening or closing it. That's the only and entire reason behind the crisp bag clip mod...believe me, I've tried everything else except removing the 3rd row seatblets completely.
Being that the 3rd row belts are original equipment specification for the vehicle, not having them fitted would then fail an MOT...or a safety, must rectify advisory that they had been removed.
Some MOT stations are more lenient than others
