What would a dealer charge? Is it a DIY job? Just wondering as I took the car out of winter storage and my wife noticed that the seat belt would not hold her back during hard braking.

Some crazy guy told me to just replace the buckle, which I tried and it fixed the problem. WTF!! Quite a few hundred for the seatbelt kit though. 1998.5 T-Red on Midnight Blue SVT Build Number 5320 of 6535

Try a wrecking yard, might be cheaper. 1998 BLK SVT CONTOUR #2980 of 6535 395,000(ish) km (and counting) SVTOA-TORONTO Chapter Director www.svtoa-toronto.ca

Think the only legit way to fix it is with new OEM parts.
