Seat Belt Retractor Cover Repair
Ok, so first off, I'm a cheapskate.
The original seat belts in my truck are in pretty good shape, and the retractors work just fine. However, the retractor covers are faded, chalky, and the driver's side is broken on top. I know I can replace the whole seat belt assembly, but I really don't want to spend $200+. Can I just replace the retractor covers somehow? I was thinking of slicing them in the back, replacing them, and repairing somehow. Any thoughts, any advice? What did you guys do? Oh, and pictures PLEASE!

There's no need to slice the covers. They simply pop off if you wiggle it back and forth.

Re: Seat Belt Retractor Cover Repair
But the seatbelt is a loop, so how does that work?
I should've mentioned I have 3-point shoulder belts.

Re: Seat Belt Retractor Cover Repair
Oh.. I was referring to the lap belts as in my truck. Not sure about the 3 point shoulder ones.

Re: Seat Belt Retractor Cover Repair
My seat belt retractor spring assembly is missing, rendering my belt practically unusable. In this case, or with thefraze's broken cover, are new condition parts even available? Or do we just scour junkyards?
