I can't believe you just posted this. My passenger's side seatbelt loop broke off last night. It's the loop that bolts to the headrest. I don't know how to get the new one on (obviously I can just cut the old one off).

I just got one on ebay for $10...a little pricey for such a crappy little part but I didn't feel like going down to the junkyard and unbolting a seatbelt to take one off of some totalled car. They would've charged me $5 max there. Anyways, I see that all you need to do is unbolt the bottom bolt of the seatbelt to get the new one on. It's the bolt under the plastic trim piece where the seatbelt bolts to the floor. Ebay has all different colors (tan, black, light grey), just search for "camaro seat belt guide".

You're right, gmpartsdirect offers them for like $4 but then $10 shipping on top of that. It says GM list is like $7 or so...oh well couple bucks wasted on my part.

Yes....the only difference is the slot that's cut out. It is sometimes a PITA cuz the belt will come out of the guide every once in awhile. But it sure is a easy swap since you don't have to disassemble the belt to get the new one on.
