Just curious why you removed the seat belt? I’m hoping your answer is you’re installing a 5 point harness or something similar

Hello,
No, l am changing the color to pink. I tried to pry off, but getting tired of replacing trim pieces.

The seat belts are tied to the SRS safety system, there are deploy sensors in the retraction unit itself. Removing it will set permanent fault.

Well, THAT was a buzzkill...?

Thought there was a company that you could ship the unit to and they would then cut out and securely restitch in a different color. Pretty sure I've seen someone here do there's in red that way.

If that's the case, would removing it only temporarily still set a permanent fault?

If you're talking about the big milky white clip in the B pillar, that part cannot be sourced without buying the entire shoulder harness with the retraction cartridge. Good luck removing it.

If entire replacement units are purchased and the positive and negative battery terminals are disconnected prior to disconnecting the seat belt electrical connections how will a fault code occur?
I’m totally ignorant on the subject but I see YouTube videos showing a successful swap, and we all know everything on YouTube is true. Not disputing your knowledge just asking for my own education.

Now I want red seatbelts for the front seats of my Rubi. Frankly, that should be an option at the factory.

Having worked with euro airbag system design and seatbelt technology on charges for pre-tensioners, I’d personally say hell no to that company and or their rebuilding program.

Im sure they’ve served 1000’s of clients but yeah, it’s a no for me. Seatbelts are designed to function once only and then the whole unit destroyed never to see another day. NEVER REBUILT!!!!

That's on permanently locked seat belt tensioners that should be replaced. After reading about the process of replacing just the webbing for a functional retractor, I really don't see what the problem would be..

It’s just me, just my personal bias after coming from that industry for so many years. 85% of the world will never have the visual and understanding of the micro complexity of safety systems that I saw. It’s all good. Like I had said I’m sure they have had hundreds if not thousands of people purchasing that type of stuff.
I just pray that a person or their friends or family members are truly protected by what they are producing.

Hello,
Thanks. This clip is attached to the wall. I’ve scheduled an appointment with the upholstery shop.
