Title: Front seat belts
Post by: dadrathers on 06 June 2014, 20:34

The passenger seat belt must be pristine on most cars whereas the driver's side is well worn - mine is anyway. Has anybody tried to cannibalise a left and right hand seat belt to swap the LH belt onto the RH mechanism?

Without going into the garage to look at my car, is there a difference between the left and right hand belts?

The rears are different as they are mounted at an angle and they won't unwind if they are not in the right position. The reels on the fronts mount vertically, so I can't see what difference it being fitted on the other side would make.

There is a difference on a more door like mine. ETKA lists LH and RH for five door cars but only lists one for the three door.
