see i ran into this issue, i just have them in the stock rear seat belt area w/ eye bolt.. the typical spot. the reason i didnt use my harness car is cause the clips are sown in and you'd have to rip them out.. from my understanding unless im completely off base here..

Your belts have clip-in style ends on the shoulder belts?

Normally belts just have them on the lap belts.

yo dont have to undo any stiching or cut anything. theres a little bar with a spring on the adjustment clasp that u take off and the eye hook comes right off.

Don't the different length harnesses have different amounts of stretch designed into the belt fabric. The long belts that are meant to connect in the rear seat-belt mounts have much less stretch per unit of fabric than the short "roll-bar" mounted belts. This is so that once mounted, both types of belts react the same in a collision.

IE: Longer belt w/ less stretch reacts the same in a crash as a short belt w/ more stretch.

I have been told that this is why you should NOT modify the mounting position of the belts. If you use a long belt wrapped around a harness bar, there won't be enough stretch during a collision and can cause injury...

Either way, you may want to contact the harness manufacturer about this (it's always a good idea when modifying safety equipment)...

this is the first time i have heard this about length vs stretch... plus the stretch couldnt be signicant or it would defeat the purpose....
