Minor problem for me but for my passengers. While going for ice-cream yesterday my wife got stuck by the seat belt as it wouldn't release; passenger seat. While I know you good folks can come up with creative fixes I was looking at potentially swapping the lower connection point of the seat belt with the one of the rears.............we never take back seat drivers.

Is it possible? if so how?

thx...........Malcolm

 

Jeez. First you got your wife strapped down, then you start thinking about swapping...

 

That's hilarious, Bigs.

I had thought that the front and rear seat belts used different width tongues.
But I had accidentally attached the front passenger seat belt into the rear buckle.

Normally I'd think lubrication might be the key but hate to mess around with
the safety system.

That's a neat trick.
Sorry dear. I can't get the seatbelt free.

Hi i would try to get a replacement from a bone yard then you dont have to remove the rear console and seat bottom, Stan

 

I knew that how ever I posed this question I may get this type of response.

My wife does think other wise especially when I'm reaching over her to unleash the belt in a public place; other than that it makes for another interesting conversation

 

What?.. a new wife from the Boneyard ?????


G'luck.

 

Nothing a little reduction surgery can't fix

 

Malcolm: Got the 2 from my new interior. I stayed with my old seatbelts so the one's from the 90's cabin are just taking up space in my cellar. PM me if you want them. They are the ones mounted on the seat itself.

 

Its the other way around H..........if she wasn't so petite I'd have had to cut the belt; she just slips out.

BTW she's Irish and would like to discuss your comment with you in person...........incoming

 

Malcolm ..... as I get older I grow a great appreciation for the accompanying (firm) benefits of same.

 

I have an 83 and the front belt will not fit into the back receiver but like I said, YMMV.

 

Then talk of lubrication from ew928...

 

Man...you guys are SICK-SICK-SICK!!!

No wonder I like Rennlist so much!!!

 

As much as I enjoy the banter I do need some advice.

Are they fixable? if not and need to replace the locking mechanism I assume the seat has to come out and then?

 

No reason not to try lube. Lubrication will not compromise the spring-loaded latching mechanism. In fact, lack of lubrication might prevent the full completion of the latching process.

OTOH, if it's just the release that's inop perhaps there's a problem with the lever between the release button and the latch.

OTTH, 928Intl sells used belts.
