Default Seat Belt Replacement

Does anybody know the easiest way to replace the entire seat belt? Iam guessing I have to remove the front seat and go from there but was wondering if there is an easier way. Second question....well the hell do you get a replacement seat belt that doesnt cost $100!!

The seat belt is not catching at all when pulled on very hard.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Are you worried the seat belt isn't working??? Have you tried an actual test.

Find an open area. Drive about 40, slam on your brakes and at the same time throw yourself forward. You'll see then if it works before trying to replace anything. Sometimes I don't realize if mines is working and when I'm approaching.a yield to fast and I press the brakes and lean forward fast to see if people are coming, it engages

Alright! HA! Ill try this with the wife in there to see if hers is working to. Yeah Iam worried its not working. When pulled on really hard nothing happens. Maybe it has to do with the angle at which I am pulling it at. It looks as tho I would have to pull both seats out in order to replace them.

It's exactly that. The angle and gravity. I've had mines engage, like I said, just approaching a yield and me looking fast.
