Question Seat Belt Buckle Bolt Location - Need Pics

Hey all,

I'm really struggling in figuring out where the OEM seat belt buckle attaches. I bought the car without the stock buckles installed but am trying to install them now.

Would someone be able to send a pic of a '93 buckle and how it's installed on a seat? If it's the same as a '94 or '95 that's fine as well.

Thank you to all in advance!

Craig

Left and right bottom sides behind seats and before storage compartment.

Just use your eyes and look!

Guys, I appreciate the responses but I'm asking about the seat belt BUCKLE. Not the belt locations...the BUCKLE location. If anyone can provide pics, I'd be grateful.

Thanks!

Still not sure what you're looking for, here is the seat belt female side, they bolt to the seat frame.

Thumbs up

ppritchard - Thank you!!! I'm missing that piece that's attached to the seat rail, unfortunately. That's what I feared but the service manual picture doesn't show it very well.

Ray Crowe confirmed that this part can't be ordered separate and I'd have to order the entire rail, which sucks since it's missing on the passenger seat and driver seat. Maybe I can get someone with harnesses to trade rails.

Please look up seat belt buckle in google images. Even Ray told me that piece that is attached to the seat rail is the buckle. :-P

I also work in the parts department at a dealership and the part attached to the seat rail is the latch. The part that goes into it is the buckle, which is mounted to the retractor.

Fair enough. Haha Looks like both terms are used for the same thing, right, wrong or indifferent. Thanks for the heads up!
