where would i get the seatbelt bolt?

Post by AKLGT »

well, it's kinda important, but didn't notice it was missing til this past weekend. the bolt that holds the passenger seatbelt is gone. i remember finding a bolt a long time ago, but didn't see where it went to. now i'm assuming that must have been where it belonged...

front seat or back? the seat belt buckle part on the seat or the belt anchor on the b-pillar? personally I'd ask the dealer about it and mention MVSS (motor vehicle safty standards) and they should fix it free.

the bolt is the passenger side front seat. it's the bolt that attaches the metal arm to the seat itself.

Yeah it sorta wasn't there when Hope hit the brakes... All that holds that buckle in now is the cord that has the wire for the seat belt warning light. I'll look it up tomorrow at work.

wow really! I suppose nummi gets their seats prebuilt by another vendor, and it just slipped thru. I assume the passenger belt light worked when it was buckled. amazing what gets out of a factory. glad no one was hurt.

The only thing keeping that belt buckle in was the electrical cord to the buckle that said the seabelt was clicked in.It is a bolt and the part number is #94858241 looks from my illustration to just screw in and tighten... however I wonder if the seat needs to be removed cause you gotta have small hands to get in there and that still doesn't leave room for the wrench to tighten it. Guess you'll have to see there Hope but thats the part number. It is a bolt.And yes, gotta love those brakes! specially with how you drove. I'd pay to see you and Juliana out there together on the road in your Vibes. Would be an awsome Video.
