I am curious if the window net ever goes out of date like the seat harness. I was looking for a new one anyway, but the question of age of my current one came up in the conversation.

Window nets should be checked during your annual inspection. Frayed nets, or nets that show deterioration, should be replaced. They are supposed to have an SFI spec. 27.1 label, but are not required to have a date.

Sun exposure seems to have the greatest detrimental effect on my netting and padding. I'm sure the belts take a beating from the sun too. I try to keep them clean and store the car in a garage while not at the track.

I would suggest "on condition." That seems to work for my underwear and seatbelts in all FAA registered aircraft.
I didn't know it was an FAA requirement but never the less...I make it a point to change my underwear "on condition" rather than waiting 2 years too.
