1982 trans am seat belt loops need help

i got a pair of 1982 trans am seat belt loops. they are not like the common 82-92 camaro/firebired seat belt loops.

They are the same found in knight rider conversions. kinda like an upside down L shape

these are a solid piece there is no break in them to slide in the seat belt.

any ideas on how they are installed?

I would remove them. The camaro has the same shape as the Knight Rider, but they have the break you need. Just change it for the 82 camaro

82 trans ams don't have the roll up mech on the sill, that's why it's solid

What Twin Turbo is saying is that in 1982 there was no retractor assembly at the floor, just in the roof - the floor end is just the end of the belt (small and thin). Simply remove the belt from the car floor and slide it through the seat belt guide - it'll open up enough, just be careful and slow.
