AB Seat repair

Hey there. My R1 seats are in great shape other than the broken seatbelt holders.

After searching the site I have to ask the question: Is there a way to replace the holders?
I have to think that there are some trashed seats out there that a guy could scavenge the parts from. Then it's just a case of figuring out to swap them out.

Any ideas ?

I'm pretty sure if you make a WTB thread in the for sale section some will have to have a set.

Any ideas how to remove the holders from the seats ? Most things I can figure out but these baffle me.

fairly certain you unzip the cloth around the headrest and get the screw that is holding the bottom plastic piece on from the inside of the seat. mine are really bad too. do they sell oem replacements for just that piece

just kidding about buying a new one. did some part number research and it only comes if you buy the whole upper seat, so somewhere around $3000. so either finding a used one or repeairing yours is the best bet
