Replacing the stock seatbelts?
Replacing the stock seatbelts?
Searched but was surprised not to find anything.
After 20 years the stock seatbelts in these cars should have all mostly expired by now. Does anyone know what's involved in sourcing replacements or doing the install?

Dealer is your only option if you don't want something that's 20 yrs old
That said, i've never heard of stock seatbelts going bad with age. Visable sign of frayng (from heat, use, etc.) maybe, but just age....

The install is pretty easy, you just need to remove some of the plastic from the interior. Then its held in by 3 bolts I think. A big one on the floor, and another couple on the mechanism i think.
You cant pass your safety check here in NZ if your seat belts are frayed (they dont expire with time here though). I had to replace mine at my last check. I purchased some good condition second hand ones. Job done.
There is a little electric plug on them aswell, I had to solder the old plug onto the new seat belt as the electrical connectors were different.

Guys, check your belts. Look under the soft fabric cover near the bottom of each belt where they bolt down to the floor near the door. You'll see a red REPLACE BELT tab that should have become visible by now.
