Stank smelling seatbelt I bought my Z from a lady in her mid 40's. She must have worn some pretty strong perfume, because the smell is fused into the seatbelt. It's so bad that I wont wear it, because the smell rubs off onto my shirt. It's been 11 months and i want to get this taken care of. I'm just gonna try to find a new seatbelt unless someone knows how to get the funk out. I've tried everything

I've used Frebreeze, I've tried a cleaner like simple green, and theres no way the smell will switch, It'll probably just mix and stink even more.

Part number for black drivers side 00-02 appears to be 88895028. 85 bucks new. Probably 30 used.

Car smells are weird, sometimes they just haunt you forever. I had a buddy who used to drive an Integra. We went to a wedding one night and hung out and ate and got drunk at the reception. Well, I didn't get drunk, but he did. The reception was catered by some italian place, lot of tomato sauce, sausage, and cheese in all the dishes. Anyway, we ate a lot, and my buddy put a lot of beer, champagne, and other such booze on top of the food.
I ended up having to drive us home in his car. So, he starts vomiting on the way home, out the window doing like 50. We were going fast enough to where a lot of it came blowing back in. Blobs of it were even hitting me in the face
So I pulled over, and he starts yelling at me to go. When I get back on the road, he starts puking again 
The smell was absolutely horrid, stale booze mixed with partially digested pasta, tomato sauce, and sausage.
The next day he took all the interior out and cleaned it and what not, but every time I got in his car after that I smelled that horrible stench. He stopped noticing after a while, but I could always smell it.

Reading about that lingering seatbelt smell made me remember that disgusting event.

Try Ozium spray. It's an air sanitizer but won't hurt to try - you can get it in a small (.8 oz) sprayer on a card at your local supermarket where they sell the "christmas tree" thingies you hang on the mirror.
