How Do You Remove Shoulder Harness

I want to send my seat belts out for repairs but am having a problem figuring out how to get the shoulder harness through the bezel at the top of the seat. Is there a trick to this? I am sure it is very simple but I am at a loss.

If I understand you correctly. Pull the plastic trim molding off of the door pillar and remove the other end of the belt from the rewinding mechanism.

Heat it up with a heat gun to soften it a bit and pull it off. You also have to turn the belt UPSIDE DOWN to get it through the bezel in the seat back.

Yes, or dip in a bowl of hot water to soften the plastic.

The web stop is there to prevent exactly what you are trying to do: stop the belt from being pulled through the seat molding passageway.

Thanks for the information I will try the heat gun trick tomorrow. This forum is a treasure trove of information.
