I have been the only owner of the 1989 vw golf. It only came with a shoulder-type seatbelt (no lapbelts) for the front seats. I recently brought my car in the the garage for the yearly inspection and the man said he could not inspect the car because it had no lap belts. My question is: did vw forget to install lap belts in my car, or is my car "ok" as is.if car is "ok"then can you send me documentation to show my mechanic that my vw did not require lapbelts.thank-you.
