Hey, just wondering if anyone has taken apart a convertible seatbelt assembly and successfully put it back together. About 2 weeks ago my seatbelt stopped retracting so I took it apart and unintentionally opened the cap to the assembly and this metal coil thing popped out and unravelled. I tried wrapping it back up and successfully got it back into the casing but now my seat belt will randomly lock and unlock itself. I'm guessing the coil has to be wound up a certain way or something? Probably not safe to drive without it working properly but I can't seem to find one to replace it (I found out that apparently the vert seat belts have a different assembly than the non verts.

p.s. my car is a 1990 JDM vert

Any help would be great!

Thanks.

 

sorry, didn't realize I posted this in the wrong forum.. any way to move it to the technical one?

 

Probably be best to buy a good seat belt.

On my old vert the seat belt neither retracted or locked.

 

I've been meaning to get around to this issue as well. If i find anything I'll let you know

 

FYI...

All restraint systems are covered under a lifetime warranty (doesn't matter how many miles you have, if you're the original owner, if it's worn to hell, blah blah). If you have a faulty seat belt take it into the dealer and they will replace it free of charge.

 

Mine got stuck as well, it sure sucks

 

Seriously? Can anyone else verify this?

 

ya, that'd be nice. Lets say that was true.. you think they would still fix it for free even after I took it after apart myself and played around with it?

 

Last summer I called around trying to find new black belts for my vert and was told they don't carry them anymore.

 

rough.. mine are black as well

 

Theres got to be a way we could mount seatbelts from another car into our verts. Maybe it is that simple, or maybe I sound like an idiot.

 

Anyone got a picture of a regular coupe seat belt assembly (the rectractor part)? If so, please post and I'll compare my vert one to see if it's possible to use one of those instead.
