An accessory to avoid

I think I made a post about this little gem when I first got it and raved about it.

I was used to my E46 Sedan and was hating having to reach way back into the back seat to grab the seat belt every time I got into the car. Found this nifty little BMW Accessory and bought them. At first it was fantastic. The belt was there right at my side every time. Spoke too soon. Over time the belts apply just enough resistance that the plastic hinged area of the holder continues to just pop out of its hinge. Over and over again.

Today I ripped them both out of the car and into the trash. Don't waste your $37 like I did. Apparently the Germans don't have a sound engineering solution for everything.
