So I have a 92 Convertible Z28 and am looking to pick up a spare set of seatbelts. Will seatbelts from a non-convertible Z28 work in the rear of the car or are they specific to the convertible. I believe the fronts are convertible specific.

I also have the tan interior so if you know of a set that are available please let me know.

 

I have been told 92 convert rear belst are same as coupes.

 

the rear belts are the same the fronts are vert specific.

 

I'm not familier with the coupe, but I know that my vert's rear shoulder belt retractors are very vert specific. They are mounted to the tonneau cover . . .

If this is the same in the '92 vert, I'm not sure how compatible the verts 2-pc rear shoulder/lap belts would be. The retractors are mounted in a totally different place on the coupe. Is the mount style on the coupe the same just flipped over and on the body?

 

That is what I have heard I have not personally changed them so not positive though. My 87 (that I am currently parting out) only had lap belts.

 

Rear seat shoulder belts started in '89.

 

that's what I said "mine only had lap belts".

 

I know , but too many curious readers browsing this topic, they may have had no idea there was a difference through the years and/or which ones had or didn't have them. Why yours doesn't and some do. It was just a tidbit of info for everyone's consumption.

 

I was under the impression that retrating shoulder belts was a 92 only thing. Is this incorrect?

 

yeah incorrect it was 89+ (well actually mid 88) that had them. 87 and some 88's just had lap belts in back

 

i have a set of tan 1992 z28 convertible belts front and back, but i need a set of "1992" vert belts to replace them. If yan help me find black ones i will sell these. they have to be 92 though cause i did research and they are one year specific.

 

The 92 rear belts are mounted under the tonneau behind the rear seats.They mount vertically and are covered by a 2 piece housing.Thats how they were on the 92 rs vert I parted a few years back

 

Chokestra - I will keep my eyes peeled for you. I really want those tan ones if they are in good shape. Are you changing your entire interior over to black? If you are I may be interested in some tan stuff if your interior is leather.

 

yea i am changing to a custom interior, mainly black, my tan stuff is tweed/cloth not leather though, but keep your eys peeled fo those black belts for a "92"

 

Correct. The earlier shoulder belts mounted to the underside of the tonneau as shown in the picture. But in 92 the tonneau has cutouts that allow the shoulder belts to come over the top of the rear seat. The belt is mounted to a pillar that is bolted to the hump behind the seat. There is a cover that goes over it for cosmetic reasons.

I have those but in the pillar mounted on the hump is there a t-top/coupe retractor in which case i can replace mine which the color is wrong with the correct color i want from one of the non vert third gens?? i know i can't for the front but i am hearing the rear can be, but 92 is it's own beast. please inform me , thank you

 

Thanks for the info. Added to my, "And just when I thought I knew everything" folder.

 

I would also like to know if I can use shoulder belts from a hard/ttop in my 1992 vert. I'm looking to swap my interior from tan to black, so I need black belts front and rear. I will be selling my tan interior if anyone's interested. It's leather, everything is in near-mint condition besides the driver's seat...I'm not selling it until I find everything I need for the swap though so if anyone's interested in my tan stuff maybe you can help me out. All I need still are black seatbelts front and rear, black door sills, black split back rear seats, black carpet and floor mats, and black bose kick panel speakers.
