Seat belt removal

[heavy_metal_rckr]

I spent a couple hours Saturday PlastiDip'n my a-pillars. Turned out pretty well...



Now I need to do the rears, but I have no idea how to remove the seat belts...



Anyone know or found a DIY for this process??

If you lightly pop off the cover where the belt goes thru the loop you will likely find a Torx bolt there (T-45 0r 55 Likely) and the belt with that assy should come right off.

Worked like a charm! Thanks!!

Looks great! So does the plasti dip have a different feel to it or does it have that spray paint texture/feel?
Because that looks good but I like the way the "oh ****" handles feel right now!

It's hard to explain... It's doesn't feel exactly the same, but yet not all that different either. You can even still see the texture of the plastic after, and I did 4 coats. The stuff is odd yet genius. It sprays on really "blotchy," so that's why I did a lot of light coats. No runs, no drips if you do it that way. But when it dries it looks about as close to perfect as you can get for it not actually being black to begin with.

Okay, and how do you get the stuff off of there, Doesn't it just scratch off? I don't want that to happen!

Well, that I can't really answer that for sure since I've only had it on a few days. I did ding the pillars a couple times trying to wedge them back into place, but there were no marks at all in the end.

I've seen people who sprayed their wheels and a year later still looked almost exactly the same as the day they did it, and you know those are bound to have rocks kicked up on them that could chip it away, so it appears to be pretty durable stuff.

Hmm you do have a good point, could you, if you feel comfortable with it take your fingernail and try to scratch it off?
On a piece that can't be easily seen in case it does come off but just so that I know!
