Default How to replace Seatbelt loops?

I was just wondering what is the best way to replace the seatbelt loops. Both of mine are cracked and I bought new ones (Loop that is connected to the headrest that the seatbelt goes through).

I don't want to take out the seats if i dont have to and I dont want to take apart the seatbelt assembly or ceiling trim if i don't have to.

Move the seat all the way forward. Disconnect the seat belt where it bolts to the car floor. You need to remove the round plastic cover with a slit in it to expose the rather large bolt holding the seat belt in. Someone else want to chime in with what size he'll need to remove the bolt? I don't have the torx set handy to check.

You can cut in between the two bolt/screw area...slip belt and bolt in!

Unbolt the bottom anchor for the seatbelt. It's attached with a big torx bolt under a plastic sheath, that "unscrews" from the plastic housing (the part with the big X on it). Undo the tox bolt, the seatbelt guide will slide over the male part of the latch if you turn it diagonally. Slide off the busted one, slide on the new one, screw the new on onto the headrest, reattach...boom. you are done.
