How do you remove seat belt holder on seats?

[Nickb1907]

Need help to get these holders out so i can put my new seats in. Yes i scored leather seats from a junkyard festiva...one 1/4" tear on the passenger seat but otherwise perfect total was $70



im installing now so a quick answer is appreciated

Are you trying to remove the whole plastic side or just the part the seatbelt goes through?

just the part the seatbelt goes through

When I had mine apart I don't think it can be removed, if you are trying to put the seatbelt through it just pry it out alittle and feed it through.

They are plastic welded from the back and cannot be removed.

Just be careful, what I did was just feed the metal part through first and pull it out the top with my fingers.

It holds the lap belt so your not reaching down to the floor for it. If you have a pre '90 with manual belts it dosn't have one.

yep just carefully feed it through...shouldn't crack if you're careful

I've had mine in and out a half a dozen times - just pry carefully
