I got a 89 si hatchback, and the seatbelt doesnt work tooo great...i hear there is a recall at the dealership? is this true? will it cost me any money since its a saftey item?

 

It has a lifetime warranty on seatbelts. Just take it in, they may have to order the parts.

Just got it done myself. Its very much true and very much a freebie. Just drive in and tell the service writer your seatbelt is broken.

 

Lifetime warranty? It doesn pull out...like the reel is jammed or something...its kinda nerv-racking to drive, knowing i cant wear my seatbelt...so they will fix it, free of charge?

Yes. You're probably new to the ef site, but it's been yacked about a lot. I just got mine replaced, just be sure you let them know that both aren't retracting good. Free of charge .

I told the guy at honda the seatbelts didn't retract. He told me to go home and clean them up with furniture polish and dishsoap. Then i told him the top half of the seatbelt didn't lock and i didn't feel safe. My free seatbelts are coming this week.

 

Has anyone here ever notice a plastic bracket-like thing that screws in and slides on the seat belt button part. When I got my car it had them on there, but everyother civic or crx I've seen has not got them. Could they be a factory fixer-upper thing for the seatbelts. I ended up taking mine off and they still work fine.

 

Yes im new to the EF site, just left the DA site cuz she blew up Heres my new toy https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1076690 anyways im going tomorow morning to see what they say...Thanx guys, sorry for being a NOOB to the EF site, i didnt search

 

I've seen those, and I think they're from the original buckles, not the new ones. I seem to remember replacing buckles in a car that had them, and the new ones I got from parts didn't have them.

 

Yeah, but what purpose do they serve anyway?
