Does anyone know if the seat belt bolts (above the shoulder) have retainers on the back keeping the bolts from coming right out? The 4 seat belt bolts are keeping me from taking out my last 4 pieces of plastic and the headliner which has stopped my progress horribly.

The last time I took out seat belt bolts was in an '84 Tempo when it was turned into a Demo Car.

So, the only thing I can figure out is A) they have some sort of retainer, B) require a special tool or C) All 4 bolts are stripped (highly unlikely) or it could be D) I'm just retarded

Any ideas and/or help would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Chi, Saw this a couple days ago, thought someone would help. You may have to go to dealer, since repair man. isn`t out just yet. Now, Don`t let this be a reason not to come to the RUN. (You little sneaker !!!)

 

Only people I can think of who might have done this are the ones who have removed their seats...but I don't remember them mentioning this either. Have you considered buying the Helms Service Manual? Links to a couple threads about them are HERE and HERE.

Good luck.

 

Well, I finally got the back two out. I am now stuck trying to get the front two out as I see no way to get to the head of the bolts. The adjustable heigh seatbelt doesn't appear to have a cover that flips open like the rears do. This is where I find the real delima now

 

the front covers just pop off.. i know cause one broke off the drivers side today

 

The cover to where the bolt is located just pops off for the front seat belts? Where is the hinge location so I can apply pressure to the opposite side? If nothing else I can always break it off assuming it will go back on with glue
