my seatbelts came off the track but i havent opened it up yet i dont know how severe the damage inside is, anyone out the familiar with this automatic crap? I took out the cover behind the seat disconected the belt and pulled the screw back with a rachet but obviously the forsaken thing doesnt work anymore and someone had mantioned this not being reparable

 

There is a recall on the track style set belts! Mine came off track and the dealership replaced both of mine for free 2 weeks ago...I saw the invoice it was well over $1600!!! Just run a search for on yahoo or google for 91 mazda rx-7 recalls...or pm me and I can get you the recall number!!!

Good luck.

Make sure you tell them not to break the plastic surrounding the belt. They broke mine and I only just realized it last week.

 

yeah also make sure you dont tamper with it, dont take it apart!!, if they suspect u fiddled with it they will really try to avoid doing it

 

SCORE!!! i can get my broken belt fixed for free!! i love this site!

 

this happen to my 90 TII, i search on ebay and it cost me $$15 bux, you gotta love ebay lol.

 

$15 isnt free

 

i know it isn't free bro, but here were i live i doub't that the mazda dealer would have change it for free, so i had to get other options and still 15 bux, its preety darn good.

 

na **** that they should do it for free..call mazda rnd if you have anyprobmels then you goto the dealer and they tell them to do it for free

 

Yah, they have to do it. Otherwise call mazda and complain. Maybe you'll get some free stuff.
