front seatbelt replacement

Post by 2002Bonnie »

Can anyone point me to a step by step tutorial on how to remove and replace the front seatbelt assembly? My driver seatbelt is extremely frayed...curled up..and fixing to pop and I want to replace it. I'm sitting in my car now and I done see anyway of getting it out without taking apart the stitching on the seat covers. Help!

The seat has to be removed from the car, and the leather cover basically has to come completely off.

Awesome! Thanks! Looks like more than I want to tackle with the seat covers being as old as they are. I will bring it by the upholstery shop in town and see if he will be willing to swap the belt mechanism out for me.

I just bought one and that's one of the first things I have to do as well... It's more like a rope than a belt. [-(

Might as well have the leather done while I'm there.
