Have 89 vert. will seat belts from Coup work?

I can get an awesome set of seat belts from an 86 camaro. Will these work in my 89 Iroc Convertible?

I do not think so... For some reason I think the mounting is different for the shoulder harness...

It actually surprises me as ASC used as many parts and pieces as possible that were from the original car before conversion.

It may be possible to actually convert your new belts over to use the Hard Top Belts... not sure tho...

You could use the rears if you dont mind having retractors instead of lap belts.The fronts are vert specific and do not mount the same as a coupe/t top car

Starting in '89, the Camaro convertible rear seats had retractors. They are mounted to the underside of the tonneau cover. This could be quite different than a hardtop and may not be compatible.

1989 Iroc Convt, do you mean belts for the front, rear or both?

PS; Sorry my82roc. I reread your post and your right regarding the lap belts. Only the shoulder belts were retractors, not the lap belt. So changing to the '86 belts would change out the lap belts to also retractors. I do catch on eventually. LOL

I meant for both Front and Rear. I want to restore my Iroc but funds are tight and when a good deal comes up. I always want to ask first.

Yeah I swapped out my interior from carmine red to tan and I am currently using rear retractors from an 84 since I was unable to find a set of tan rear lap belts.Only thing is you cant use the tonneau shoulder belts since the rear retractors dont have the special buckle with the slot to attach them

Re: Have 89 vert. will seat belts from Coup work?

Yes I went to Tan.The car is burgundy and originally came with a carmine red interior.It has gold rims and emblems.Basically the only logical choices for interior swap would be tan or black.So I picked tan especially since I also have an 86 Iroc which is burgundy w/tan interior.Im looking for 89-91? rear lap belts and the under tonneau belts in tan if you have them
