Re: Plastic seatbelt sleeve
They just snap into place. Be careful or the 40 yr old plastic will break. I usually pull upward and pry one side then the other with a screwdriver.

Re: Plastic seatbelt sleeve
I think he's talking about the flexible sleave around the retractor. I have used very hot, boiling when leaving the stove, dip it in for a few minutes and it will slip off. Use gloves. Same for putting back on.

Re: Plastic seatbelt sleeve
It may be easier just to mask off everything and paint them. Just make sure you clean them very well before painting. I had pretty good luck with mine

Re: Plastic seatbelt sleeve
I had the same question. Was told to use a hair drier. Get them hot and they pull off a lot easier.
