wtdash Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 HI, Read THIS. Been done, not hard - cost depends on where you source the parts. What part failed exactly? I may have some left-overs from my swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartless Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 you should be able to manually crank the belt/buckle part into the upright/closed position, then unplug the control box in the rear of the car so it will not move again. then it is simply a matter of unbuckling the belt to get in/out of the car. the other half did this with his 90 sedan for more than a year - no extra work needed.

porcupine73 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I remember in older posts some people said they would get the seatbelts from a Canadian vehicle (which did not have the auto belts) and use that. Many years had a lifetime warranty on the seatbelts but I don't think those years did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
