i belive that they are different than the verts. i have owned a hard top, t-top and vert but never noticed how different the seat belts were until i got my vert. but i no longer have the hard top so i cant compare the two

Vert Belts

I am pretty sure the belts are diffrent.

Go to Epay and do a search for PerryPam as a seller. They have or can get pretty much anything you can imagine using. If they don't have an auction for what you are looking for Email them with a request. They are good folks. I've bought from them many times.

On another note, has anybody ever re-worked their seatbelts. More clearly stated, has anybody ever taken the mechanism and replaced the faded webbing with new? I have a complete set to replace mine when necessary but the webbing doesnot really look all that great. I might look into this next time I have nothing to do... I wonder when that might be?

Speedgraphic,

I replaced mine about 2 weeks ago. It wasn't very hard at all. It took about 4-5 hrs. The driver side bolt on the retractor by the door sill was very hard to remove. If I would have had a little bit longer rachet I think it would have came out pretty quickly.

I have yet to re-install the interior pannels in the back seats because I want to replace the fabric on the speaker grills.

Anybody know where I can get grey fabric or new grills already covered. Most of the speaker fabric that I have found is too dark.
