Seatbelts with 4th gen seats???

I have a set of 4th gen seats - cloth dark/light gray two tone. I noticed that they do not have the plastic guides for the seatbelts at the top like my 3rd gens do, and there isn't a spot to actually mount them, so I have to rig something up. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks.

They should have a guide...are you sure someone didn't remove them? My SS seats (97, gray leather...in Redraif's car right now) have them, my 94Z cloth seats (two tone gray) have them,and my 95Z (graphite leather) had them, too. BTW, the 3rd gen guides will fit...see interior shots on Redraif's site if you're interested, those are 91-92 red guides on my 97 seats.

I just re-used the guides from the old stock seats. The seats did not come w/ the guides because they sold the guides as part of the seat belt assembly.

How did you attach the guides to the seats?? There are no pre-made holes or anything there. Thanks for the replies.

We didn't have to make any holes...they were already there. If yours had the original guides removed, you might not be able to see the holes (if they're cloth), but you could probably find them with an icepick. They are there.

There should be holes in the head rest for the guides.
If you need to buy some guides, I have a pair of black ones from a 96 T/A Leather seat. $5.00 + shipping and they are yours.
