Seat belt problem
95 XJ Sport
The spring mechanism seems to have broken in the seat belt latch. There is no tension on the release button anymore, and the (?) catch plate inside the buckle stays in the released position. I can sometimes make it latch by jiggling the clasp around, but it's not easy. What makes this more annoying is it's the DRIVERS buckle :( Is there a way to fix this, or will I need to replace it? TIA .... |

At least there are tons of XJ's in the wreckers for cheap ones with the right colour cover even...
