I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla and I need to replace front passenger seat belt. But my seat belt has a metal cyender and os connection to a yellow plug that I can't take off. And the used seat belt I bought on eBay. They just cut it off. Do I just cut mine off ? Or do u know what that yellow cord does?
Thank you for this video! I spent time today trying to remove the seatbelt and had to give up. You have given me insight on how to get to the bolts at the top of the belt so I will get it done tomorrow!!
Unfortunately I damaged my plastic connector at pre-tensioner on my 2005 Hyundai Elantra. I will need to replace the whole wiring. Anyone done that before?
My toyota corolla is right hand drive. Can I replace front seat belts with those from a left hand drive corolla. Same models but just different drive side. Please advise
Thanks for this video! My seatbelt was in the locked position and wouldn't come out. Found this video and just removing the panel somehow unlocked it and it's working again. Thanks!
If you are doing this to a similar Chevrolet Prizm you should actually remove the runner guard from the drivers door first since it has pegs one each end that go into holes in the side pieces to stop them from pulling apart. It is secured on end closest to the drivers wheel. You can then pull of the panel as shown, except without breaking part of the lower corner. I use a screw driver to start it and the bent the drivers side as shown using my hands. To remove the upper retainers cover it works best to use a screwdriver from the side since you can get a direct angle into the piece and not insert it at an angle. The lower rubber cover remove best but pulling it down, as shown, and the pulling the backside lip outward and then you can slide it up enough to be out of the way. You do NOT need to all the pulling apart to get the hook off. Just insert a screwdriver between the retainer and the car frame and it will easily pop out, the carpet has plenty of give without pulling on it first.
If you belt is just slow retracting and not beaten up as shown and you have gunk on the retracter you should first try cleaning it before spending money replacing the belt. If it is failing to engage just replace it. They only cost $100+ each (front versions). That automatic torsion wrench alone probably cost that much (or more).

Excellent teacher!! One of my favorites!
Hi Peter. A demonstration for the rear passenger seats would be great. It's harder to get to. Thanks in advance if you are able to do one.

To swap out drivers side seat belt latch, do i need to disable the airbag system or anything like that??
