Re: Restoring OEM Seatbelts

One of the things I’ve been doing lately when restoring the seatbelts, is disassembly of the metal buckles. A lot of times people are saying that their buckles just don’t work like they should, and here’s why. Over the years, things find their way inside the buckles, only to be trapped. When these items get lodged under the spring for the button, it no longer functions as it should. There have been times that the buckles will not release the latch, once the seatbelts were used, trapping the occupant in the seat. So every set of seatbelts that I’m restoring, I’m cleaning out the debris from the buckles and re-lubing them. Here are some pics of some of the “stuff” that I have found inside these buckles.
