Seat belt housing...
 

Anybody got a snappic of the seat belt housing opened up?

Chuck,

What's the issue?

Got it Dominic; I didn't see that the bolt is at the base of the housing - thought that the anchor bolt was INSIDE the housing...

You can wipe this thread - shows how much I DON'T know :o

Yeah Chuck. I don't think GM wants you to open the belt assembly. You may find it doesn't work well but that is a matter of the position its in.

What doesn't work well?

I'm about to give away good belts here...

Don't worry there Phillip; mine are pulled - I'll get it out to you tomorrow here... I sent a PM - you get it?

The belts need to be installed for proper operation. Never an issue while in the car.

Got it; thanks.

Just noticed that on my good ones. I was looking for some kind of release / activation mechanism... :confused:

Re: Seat belt housing...
 

I recently had my upholstery guy replace the leather on my left lumbar on the drivers seat. After he was done, the seat belt would not expand. there is a release button but it did not do anything. When I told him he knew right away that it was a very little spring that releases the belt mechanism and lets it work properly. he took it apart, oiled the spring which was still there and it has been ok since. You would be surprised how cheesy that little spring is. I am no sure if you are experiencing the non expanding issue but that is my two cents on this matter.

THAT'S what I call 'on top of things' there edram! GREAT INFO!

Do you see that spring in the snappics in the other thread? http://www.zr1.net/forum/showthread.php?t=22010 Which one is it? You're not talking about the 'Cinch' button?

No problems with the one I got from Dominic, or my own belts that I'm unloading to PhillipsLT5 there, but I sure didn't see what the 'activation / release' mechanism' is, to uncoil the belt as removed ... :confused:


edit:
thinkin' more on that there edram (see the smoke from thinkin' too hard - dual exhaust http://www.zr1.net/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif )

...I bet no one knew about that spring. THAT'S what it's all about yUp.

Same thing happened to me the first time I took the driver's side one out. There was a recall on them (89 - 91) that was recall #91058.
