Q: What is a harness bar? Why buy one?
A: Harness bars are bars that mount behind the front seats to allow the installation of a racing style 4 or 5 point seat belt, also called a harness. Racing harnesses provide much improved safety and security to the driver and passenger in a vehicle, and by keeping the driver firmly glued to their seat they also can help improve car control; however most OEM cars do not have provisions for the shoulder belt portion of the harness. A harness bar provides an anchor point for the shoulder straps to attach to, so that you can install a full harness in almost any vehicle. If you want to run track days or add a harness for looks, but do not want to add a permanent roll cage or roll bar, a harness bar is the only way to go. It will give you added safety while keeping your interior clean and functional.
