Seatbelt casing/cover

[Nancy1340]

Does anyone know where I can get two replacements for these? Both passenger and drivers seatbelt covers. Thank you.

This is what I used. They're a little too long and need to be cut down, but look nice when done.

Buuuuuttt , butttt , their not the "real deal". LOL

I have this OCD thing about stock stuff.
I mean, it's not like I'm ever going to put my car in shows or anything like that.

Thanks for the link though. I may have to go that route.

OK, so to feed your OCD tendencies, why don't you remove the originals and repair them? Get a suitable backing plate material to go inside the belt covers and glue the original pieces back as close as you can get along the break lines. Then you can fill the cracks with fiberglass or some other (?) material, sand and re-paint to match the original color.

Arggggggg I had been wondering if that could be done now your suggesting it can. LOL

I'll have to take closer look at doing that. Not sure I have the ability to do so but it can't hurt to try. Removing them would keep them from being damaged any more until I can work on reparing them.

Thanks for the suggestion.

The break looks pretty clean, and the two pieces "complete" on the passenger piece you show in the photo. A good, rigid backing piece on both sides, nicely epoxied, would minimize the need for any filler, if you are careful to place the two parts as closely as possible back together. There are some good epoxy putties (2-part, need to mix them) that would be ideal to fill in any remaining gap. Sand the epoxy smooth once it's dry, Then, go to the paint store with the originals, and you'll surely find a good, tan-colored match in a spray can.

It's somewhat ragged on the back side and there may be bits broken off and missing, but it's worth a shot to repair. Thanks for the advice.

$6 for the epoxy and $6 for the beige paint = $12 you could have spent on brand new ones. Dont mess with them, its not worth the time, and will break the first use after you "fix" them.

You can also go to the junkyard, pull them out of any GM vehicle, and with a little trimming, be back in business.

Yeah. Or that.

Or that.
