Weird thing I discovered while doing my carpets
The seatbelts don't match the car :eek: Better yet they don't match each other :crazy:
The part encased in this portion
does not match the car. One is red and one is grey :crazy:
BTW the ones that you pull across are blue, just not this part! Anyone else have this happen?

:confused: Are you talking about the plastic seatbelt covers? I see no red, only gray and blue.

Jenn,
Did you replace the passenger side crash pad? It doesn't look like it's there in the pic. If you did, did you put a Corvette emblem on it? I made this change to the flat panel and like it, but it looks plain without a logo or lettering on it. Also, please let us know how the carpet job comes out when finished. My '85 will need it before too long.
Thanks,
Route66dan

I have a red one on the driver's side, not sure about the passenger. My interior is gray :cheers:

I don't think there was ever any recall work, I have all of the paperwork on the car and I never saw that in the reciepts. Then again he might not have saved that.

Dan here are my progress threads, it's definatly a two day job.
day one http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=310165
day two http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=310690
I suggest that you check what else needs to be replaced while you have it apart, for example I had to replace the storage bin frame and doors. Also give yourself plenty of time, we cleaned each part as we took it off. This was stuff that had 18 years worth of sweat and grime :eek:
Email me if you have any specific questions about what we did. I feel like an expert now ;)

Re: Weird thing I discovered while doing my carpets
What's the point in having seat belts when you don't have any SEATS? :lol:

Re: Weird thing I discovered while doing my carpets (thrills)
They've been doing that for years Jenn. In 1970 the short belt piece alongside the trans tunnel is black for just about all interiors since it's covered by the plastic trim piece and not visible - until you get around to restoring the car! :yesnod: :smash:
