Default Removing Seat Belts
I broke the plastic seat belt attachment to the driver's seat and got the new part. Now I am trying to figure out how to remove the belt so that I can replace the part. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Remove the anchor on the floor and you can slide it on. Turn the plastic cover on the anchor, under it is a torx bolt - believe it's a T-50.

thanks, I took off my seat covers and washed them this afternoon (cloth). Just might as well untangle the belt too.

i think the seatbelt holders for verts have a slit in them so you don't have to remove the seatbelt to run it through.

If I recall correctly, the bolt also requires red locktite to be re-applied when you re-install the belt.
