Please be advised that seats with belts built in (also known as all belts
to seats) must meet special DOT requirements. When seat belts are
anchored to the seat adjuster foundation ie.(seat base) ...............it
must withstand occupant load and meet special crash test requirements. In
other words the seat mechanism must be robust enough to hold the seat and
the occupant in a frontal crash test without ejection.

In my opinion, do not rely on the built in seat belts unless you can
duplicated the same attachment methodology.

I WOULD ALWAYS TAKE GMC SEAT BELT TO THE FLOOR AND/OR TO WINDOW PILLAR.

IMHO.........DON'T EVER EXPECT THE SEAT TO HOLD ITSELF AND YOU.
