Seat belts
Try to take my seat belts buckles apart and get the belts out so I can wash them is their an easy way to get them out with out braking the buckles.

Re: Seat belts
Don't try to pry the plastic piece of the buckle. The plastic is old and probably brittle and can break. At least it did on one of mine.

Re: Seat belts
They are more forgiving if you heat them up slowly with a heat gun... .but not too much heat or you will melt them. It also does wonder to rejunvenate color in them. Trevor

Re: Seat belts
They can brake easily. You have to pry a little at the sides of the plastic buckle cover and it will pop off. It doesn't take much, you are prying to just unhook the cover. Lift the button and spring out. Pay attension to which way the webbing is sewn at the end for when you reassemble (if you just want to wash you may be able to wash a couple of times while moving the webbing in and out of the buckle?). It is tough but you can fit the sewn/folded end through the buckle.
You can even take the whole other end apart but it is hard to put into words how to do that end.
