plastic seatbelt guide? How to change??

The plastic pieces that clips into the sail panels that help guide my seatbelts are broke.....not the whole plastic piece just the clips. right now i just glue'd them so the'll stay up. but im removing my headliner and replacing it. How do i replace the plastic peices? Is there an easy way of doing it?...cause i really dont want to take apart the whole seatbelt assemply and slide the belt through.

there is a clip that holds them on. If you use a small flathead screwdriver to push the tabs in, they will come right off. But if you already broke the pieces, then just pull them off, toss them, and buy a new set off of ebay. i got a pait for $7 plus shipping.

They come pre-cut so you can slide the seat belt into them, and then they just snap into place. Once you get a new pair you will see how they work.

i dont know if thirdgenresource's are precut or not. i got mine from ebay. if they arent cut...just use a hack saw and cut a straight line in the trim piece.
