Default Rear seatbelts?

There is a black, triangular piece that the seatbelt strap goes thru. Does anyone know how you mount this? I can't figure it out. And by chance, does anyone know the size of the nut that goes onto the bolt that the housing sits on? I'm putting my seatbelts back in and I can't figure it out!

It goes on the side on the back seat. It should have 2 holes on the seat where it goes.

I know where they go, I just don't know how they go. I can't figure out if the triangle goes in or out. Anyone have a pic?

Does anyone know the size of the nut that I need to keep the actual seat belt housing in place? I lost those nuts, and can't find out what size I need.

Uh, yeah. Go ahead and explain it cheech. I haven't touched these in almost 2 years. I don't have the bolts so I can't necessarily just pin it down.

If you can take a picture of what you're talking about I can go look at my 95 right now and take pictures.

It's hard to explain. There is a triangular shaped mounting bracket on the strap of the seat belt. I see how it mounts, I just don't see how it works. Too bad I can't take a picture at the moment, but I know it goes behind the seat, I just need to know the size of the bolt that goes in it, and how to mount it. I think it goes under the carpet? Gah, I don't remember.

Not the actual housing where the seatbelt rolls up in. I think on the second picture I see a black bracket with 2 holes where a bolt can go through. It's a separate triangle looking black piece.

If you mean that triangular piece, it confused me for a bit as well till I folded down the back seat and saw the 2 bolt holes for it. They are simple as heck to figure out how to mount. I mean, I really am sorry, but you have to have a below avg IQ not to be able to.

I'll even load up M$ Paint and draw you a pic quick lol Stay tuned for an edit.

Like I said, I see where it mounts, but the strap gets all tangled no matter how I do it. And I've tried adjusting it. Just let me see a pic so I can get the damn thing in. Like I see how it mounts, I just don't know if it's the right way, as I don't have the seats in right now. The way I had it, almost seemed like there was a bulge and didn't know if that was supposed to be like it.

Ah, I got it. Yeah, the reason I couldn't figure it out is because I didn't have the seats in it.......

There are 2 bolt holes in the body in the back of the seat, I wasn't sure I needed to do that. I got it now.

If the belts are getting all twisted up, then remove the bottom seat portion, unbolt the seatbelt from the body, and untwist it after you've mounted those back triangle piece. Once they're straight how you like it, bolt them back in. I think the seatbelt bolts are T-55 Torx, at least that's what most are up on the B-Pillar. (I think it's called the B-Pillar haha)

EDIT: Oh sure, you get it after I spent all that time drawing it out for you
