3rd gen seatbelts w/ 4th gen seats
I installed my 4th gen seats this weekend.
was my reaction after stepping back and looking at the car. Anyway, how do you guys suggest getting my 3rd gen seatbelts through the 4th gen seat guides? I thought they'd be slotted, but nah, that woud be too easy.
Suggestions?

I used a hack saw to cut between the two screw holes. Once I reinstalled it, you couldn't even tell.

I went and bought the seatbelt guides from the dealer for a Convertible since they have a slit in them. $7.00 for the pair.

Dealer couldn't find the right part number for it though, so I took one off of my friends car and wrote the number down.
I'll post the part numbers later if anyone wants them.
Cost for you at the dealer if you don't get a discount is $14/pair, our club is sponsored by the dealer so we get parts at wholesale.
