Seat belt seat hoops orientation

I'm a bit embarrassed to say that it's been along time since I've had a set of headrest seat hoops to install. I usually just get some from a GM car at the wrecking yard and make them work. Now I have a set of nice originals to stick on my seats, but I'm in a bit of a dillema.

Do they angle forward or sweep rearward?

I'm pretty sure they angle forward

I asked this question before (https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...-attached.html) and was told rearward. Unfortunately, my car is in the shop so I can't check for you. Maybe someone else?

Sweep to the rear.

Nice pic! Thanks!

It's just what I needed for clarification.
