Replace seat belt warning ...
1989 vert. Never been in an accident and I just noticed today that both seat belts have a fabric tag that says replace if showing.
Now this is the first time I ever noticed this and I recently had it safetied. I also noticed I can't get the seat belts to lock...ever.
Should I be worried ? I can't imagine used ones would be any good and new ones should be pretty expensive.
Anyone else have this happen ? And it's stock before someone says get a racing harness lol.

Pnoy, I think you need to uncover and inspect your inertial reel assembly.
Before you do however, you might want to look into that weird "exposed fabric tag" thing...like, are the belts frayed/worn? Where is the tag located?
It strikes me as strange because you said both belts were showing the warning and I can believe that a driver side belt could show extensive wear but the passenger sides are usually almost mint (this holds true for seats and carpets as well) as they are used only infrequently (compared to the driver side which gets used 100% of the time).

That tag is normally under a plastic cover...which disintegrates over time.
If you look below that tag, you'll see where the seat belt is sewn to itself. In a bad accident, those threads rip and that tag would then be visible outside the plastic.

I verified all the paper work. Never reported accident. Never repainted as seen by the flaking white OEM paint as usually happens in chunks. Body lines are straight and even. No crimps in any support. If it was in an accident they sure did a frickin amazing job fixing it and matching the paint peel to the rest of the car lol.
