I shut the door on my seatbelt today and that little plastic pin that keeps the buckle at shoulders height when the seatbelt is not in use broke... Any ideas on what I could use to replace it?
I used a neon yellow lego space edition saucer with a pop rivit through it. You can buy the oem replacements at NAPA, and don't let them tell you they don't have them, because they do. It is under the wrong catagory if they do a regular search....
I actually did use a snap, the large outside part of a heavy duty snap, not the inside half with the spud. I used gold as it matched my MNB interior better than a silver one. It keep the seat belt from sliding down perfectly. I can post a pic if desired.
I could clandestinely snap something behind the seat belt, such as a small knife in a black ballistic-nylon sheath. You'd never see it hanging there.
Plus, when you stretch the seat belt across the lap, on mine that button ends up right about mid-lap where my belt buckle is, backside (snap-side) facing out so whatever it was secured there would be facing out, readily accessible.
They sell the metal buttons , like on the front of your jeans.
