Seat belt install, how to get this thru that?
Replacing the left front seat belt in my '91 Firebird. How do you run the belt thru the loop that's bolted to the headrest? It doesn't split open like the earlier cars, and neither of the reels will pass thru it.
Whats the simple answer to my dumb question?

You have to cut the loops to be able to get the belt back in.

I would cut them between the bolts that way you will not see the cut. I also angle the cut so the 2 pieces sort of itnerlock for a tighter mounting

Those are for a 4th gen Convertible...all coupes still had the closed design. Difference is, you don't have to cut anything to install them in a 4th gen. Just pull out the piece that mounts to the headliner, and it slides right over the belt.

You don't have one like this?

Odd cause most of 3rd Gens had the same one except maybe my 82 TA. But my 86 & 87 Firebirds had them like that.
