The customer (individual requiring the extender) must visit a Toyota dealership to have the required measurements made and to complete the Seat Belt Extender worksheet. The worksheet will allow the proper fitting and selection of a Seat Belt Extender for the customer. The dealership personnel should then determine the applicable part number and place a Critical Order through the TDN Parts Network. The dealership service department should complete the affixed Seat Belt Extender Customer Information Label and review the "Owner Instruction Sheet" with the customer. The dealership should give a copy of the completed Worksheet to the customer and keep the original in the customer's file. To assure utmost owner satisfaction, it is recommended that a dealership designate one person to coordinate all activities related to the Seat Belt Extender issue. From past sales history, it is recommended that dealerships do not stock Seat Belt Extenders due to low demand and the need for customer fitting.
