Default How to attach seat belt guides to 6LE Seats

I am installing a pair of 6LE seats in a '00 Camaro. What is the best/safest way to attach the factory seat belt guides to the headrest portion of the seats?


Thanks,

Mark d has a write up on how he did it. Basically he drilled small holes thru the seat,into the steal bar inside. And added small hollow tubes inside about 3/4" long and screwed them in. Or do what I did...I used 2 fat zip ties and they havent moved since

If they are leather, I would have a leather strap stitched to it. I have been pondering these seats for a while.

The leather straps you can use a leather glue, double sided 3M or, and this is what I HIGHLY recommend, just stitch them on.

I paid a local shop $25 to stitch BOTH sides on IN the car...

Oops, I misunderstood... For using the factory pieces, there is a write-up in the write-up section of my forums...
