Schroth Racing Harness

Since a few of your have messaged me inquiring about my 4-point harness, I thought I would start a thread for those with the AMG Performance Seats looking for a harness for track days. I called Schroth last year and they directed me to one of their distributors, HMS Motorsports in Mooresville, NC. Called HMS and told them what I had and they said the only harness that would work is the Schroth Rallye Cross (bolt on).

I’ve had 4 track days with it and love it. Simple install as well. Just make sure you disconnect the battery otherwise the airbag sensors that you need to disconnect when moving the seat around will throw codes. You don't need to remove the seat from the vehicles. Simply unbolt the four hex bolts that hold the seat to the floor and disconnect the airbag sensors so you can move the seat freely. Remove the plastic cover on the side of the seat to access mounting points - where the seatbelt and buckles each connect to the seat.

For the rear, remove the seat cover, pull from the front and it pops out quite easily. Same process as the front - I used the left-most mounting points for where the seatbelt and buckles attach. I also bought a buckle dummy off of Amazon for when I'm at the track. Hope this is helpful.

Welcome to the club. I did mine a little different and added a fire extinguisher.

Thanks for posting. I noticed that the "Schroth Installation Checklist" PDF states "The shoulder belts will cross over when anchor points are located more than 450 mm (18”) behind the seat back rest." but that yours come straight back to the back-seat anchor-points.

To the anchor points in the backseat, but the belts cross.

I’ll take a few pics this weekend when I fix mine so the belts cross! Thanks for calling this out guys - it never occurred to me and obviously I looked over that part of the instructions. Typical

Glad I found this thread! I've been wanting to get a harness for my track days. Installation looks easy too

Just ordered the Rallye Cross directly from their website.

Do you have any pics on how these are installed into the back seat of the coupe?
