Angry Trans am seat belt plastic clip

Guys i dont know how to work to search this. I have searched btw with fail. I have a 2000 ta. The darn plastic pieces that wrap the clip that inserts into the push button mechanism has broken off. this cause the clip to slide down to the floor and its is harder to grab the clip because it is not hanging mid belt above the button top prevent the clip from sliding. Are these replaceable? What are they called? Do i have to get all new seat belts?

Thanks for any help guys!
Frustrated guy.

I searched for the part you're pointing out and I had no such luck finding a replacement. I would buy a whole new seatbelt.

If you don't know what its called my best suggestion to you is go to the dealership, point out what piece you need, have the guy look it up, grab the part number then start Web searching for the cheapest website

Your talking about the plastic piece on the seat belt clip that keeps it from sliding up and down the belt...right? If so that's common to break...bad news is there is no way to replace it once the seatbelt is sewn together.

You will have to get a new seatbelt.
