Seatbelt Removal

Im in the process of gutting my interior to install raamat and ensolite. I havnt been able to find a write up on removing the interior trim panels etc. Most of it has gone pretty well but I need to know the size of the torx bolt that attaches the top of the seatbelts. Anybody have a clue or willing to look it up in a manual for me if you have one? Thanks

Just changed my belts out... It is listed as a T50, I used a T45 with no problem, but I'd start by trying the T50--takes some force because GM torques them pretty tight. Good luck

They should... I got a nice set of 3/8" drive torx bits from Lowes for around $20.

Not sure if they are available, but check with your dealer on seat belt extenders. I think they used to be something you could get if the stock belts were not long enough.
