A seat belt arrangement for an automotive vehicle having a seat structure, a roof side rail and a center pillar, comprising a guide rail extending along the roof side rail, a slide member slidably received in a downwardly open longitudinal groove in the guide rail and protruding downwardly from the groove, a retaining strap anchored at one end to the slide member and extending in part in front of the seat structure, a retractor unit adapted to pull the strap to wind it into roll form, and a strap guide member having an upper bracket portion secured to the roof side rail and a lower portion extending downwardly from the bracket portion along the center pillar. The slide member is movable forwardly and rearwardly through the groove in the guide rail, and the arm portion of the slide member extends through a gap formed between the center pillar and the guide member. The guide member is secured to the roof side rail by fastening elements which have not only the guide member but also the guide rail securely attached to the roof side rail. The bracket portion of the guide member upwardly terminates below the upper end of the roof side rail.
