Full Size Jeep Network

My drivers side seatbelt, not the shoulder harness, but the one that bolts to the floor has gone bad and will not work as designed. I need a replacement. Does anyone have one they could sell me? I have seen many aftermarket ones on line, and the ones that are OEM are so insanely priced... If you have one, color does not matter, let, me know?

Thanks

Is the belt not retracting anymore? I had the inner spring breaks inside the auto-tensionner, and our spring is a rather wide one, I have not found a matching spring.

Yes, prices are all over the spectrum.

or a slightly different clip buckle

I have a coupe of sets for my 79 j10, I think one set is new from Juliano’s, good price, where are you?

Its not the one that retracts, it is the other one that the retractable one goes into. It wont hold anymore...

I am in Texas. Its almost 4am... why am I up so early? Hehe

I'll take a look today and get back

Suggest you match the year of the donor rather closely with your Jeep. In my experience, the design of seat belts changes a lot over the years. The '79 offered above will not match the OP's '90, I'll betcha. Different mounting, mechanical function, and lengths would not be surprising.

there may be a way around this....I have a seat belt from the rear, but its not long enough. I did find an extension that may work until i can find the right one...

I just ordered the extender...if it does not fit or work, I can return it

Post a pict of the buckle from the retractable section ... someone may have a match for the fixed section...

May be something found its way down the opening... remove and clean or tap may dislodge some debris...

Will front belts from a Jeep JK work? Get-m at the junk yard..

Ive gotten some seatbelts from Jeeprecyclers dot com. When ive inquired it seems they have lots of beige and burgundy. no blue, little black

I tried fixing the current one, it seems the tang inside the springs up to catch the male part is no longer working and I can see no way to take the unit apart to fix it...Ill get a pic later

What color you looking for? I might have a tan one from an 87.

Looking for a tan replacement...but im not picky right now

I was checking my stash and you can probably move the rear center to replace your driver's side, on the 85 mine are a match. it is a bit of a pain to slide the belt off the plastic straigthtener. Use some drops of pb blaster or equivalent on the T50 torx bolt if it does not give way...

T50 torx? GOt it now I know the size Thanks!!

Although they look like a Torx and a Torx will usually work well, the seatbelt bolts are something different, I’m not sure what the drive is called. The Snap On tool number is FTX500. The splines of a Torx have a radius at the peak, The spline peak of the FTX500 is flat.

There is no way I can afford a Snap On...ill have to go the cheapest route I can

Correct, thank you for the precision, when I pulled mine, I noticed that it is a rounder torx, but it worked .Before I had the torx bit, a large flat blade screwdriver did the job!
