Seatbelt guides on 4th gen seats?

Hi, recently I installed some 4th gen seats in my RS and they didn't come with the guides that screw into the side of the headrest. My question is if my old ones will work with these seats. Also, does anyone have any suggestions on how to find the holes in the headrest for the screws? There are not any holes in the leather to mount any seatbelt guides so I guess I'll just take a chance? Any suggestions? Thanks a bunch if you can help, and just to let you guys know, I would have searched but I think it's still not working. Thanks! Eric

I just put my 4th gen seats in last week and I used the ones from my 3rd gen seats. They bolted right up. First I used my fingers to find the plate that they screw into. Then I just used a needle to find the holes in the material and then screwed them in. They look good on them, too. PM me if you have any other q's or if you just want to see them, we can meet up sometime. Thomas

Hey man thanks a bunch! That's the exact same thing I was thinking of doing! And easySPEED, I know exactly what you're talking about! The screws in the back seatbelt guides have the blue locktite crap on them. But it feels like the damn screws are super glued in! I'll tell you what though, I haven't gotten a better forearm workout in a LONG time! LOL Thanks guys!

I used the 4th gen guides. I used a band saw (use a hacksaw if you don't have access to bandsaw) and cut in betweent he two screw holes in the guide. Now it goes over the stock belt and looks stock after its screwed down.
