Reinstalling Seat Belts and a broken bolt
 

I removed the seatbelts to have the Rhino liner sprayed in. Is there a
trick to getting the belts to release so that I have enough slack to
re-install them?

One of the bolts for the rear seat mounting bracket snapped off during
removal. If I need to completely drill this out and have the mounting
nut removed from the underside, would placing a similar bolt and nut
config be safe? Or should I have one tacked back on to the bottom?

Hold them perfectly vertical as if they were mounted in the Jeep. There is
a mechanism inside that locks the seat belt up under enertia or if the
mechanism is tilted.

Re: Reinstalling Seat Belts and a broken bolt
 

The seatbelt mechanism must be in the same orientation as it would be
installed. Once oriented the correct way, "play" with it so it will
release. Just ran into the same thing a couple of weeks ago after I
hurc'ed my tub.

Take it easy,
