Front seat belts on 03 Jimny.

check where they slide into the upper guide, the lips on mine were black and sticky - scraped it off and squirted with silicon, def helped for a while ...... has just reminded me to do it again

ps. welcome to the forum

i did this

then got fed up and put some 2010 ones in, done

What's the difference between 2010 and 2007 ? did they change anything in the belts' construction ?

:woohoo: hope there's been some fix, with better 2010 ones

do they have a different design then zaine :dry:

The amount of times i've had passengers almost shut the end in the door!
Mine even got an advisory on its MOT when the previous owner had it!

If the new belts are better, i'll replace mine!

Guessing they are a main stealer part, OR a lucky breakers find... how many heavy crashes don't ruin them

EDIT:: Called the dealer... £239.47 +VAT each side. I can deal with cleaning the guides this weekend :laugh:

Are the belts a sealed loop, meaning you can't just replace the guides? Its obviously not a 'loop' but the sewn ends are way to thick to shove through new guide.

dont know sorry, just the car i got them front had done about 2k miles so i presumed the belts would have had much less use

looked identical from the outside, were just a different colour belt

bolted in fine

worked a treat, much nicer than my older ones that didnt return very well

Cleaned my guides up a week or so ago and the belts now return fine!

Just used a window wipe and a screwdriver to clean the black crud off
