seatbelt latch 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be jeff on  Thu Jan 3 06:00 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi, The driver's side seatbelt can be inserted into the latch, but the latch doesn't click and hold the seatbelt in place, as if the locking mechanism isn't catching. If I ram it in a few times it eventually clicks and holds. Any thoughts on the cause and a fix?

Thanx. Jeff

    HI; I had the same problem on a few cars I have had in the past. Every time it turned out to be either a penny or a dime. I use gum and a coffee sterer. Forgive my spelling. Dan.. PS .You could try a shop vac with a crack sucker atachment. Good luck..

    I had the same issue with a BMW 325 i had (same seatbelt system). It turned out that a small plactic catch in the latch had broken. Which is expected after 10- 15 years a use. I found the best and easiest fix is to find a used one at a slavge yard. It's a 5$ part and a 30 min fix. really easy. If you plan to keep the car for a long peroid of time you might want to inves in a new one all together.

    Thanks Justus
