Small but irritating seatbelt problem

    Hi guys,

    Just a very trivial thing.

    My front driver's seatbelt is missing the little black round button thing that stops the buckle sliding all the way down. I have to basically move the buckle upwards, from outside the car, whenever it slips to the anchor at the bottom of the belt, to enable me to put it on without breaking my back inside the car. A tad annoying.

    Was just wondering do they sell these things as replacement parts, or will I have to get a new belt, and is it just a case of using pliers to put it on (like a popper button)?

    Any ideas would be great guys.

    Thank God I only have little problems like this at the moment! (touch wood)

    no idea if you can buy just the popper thing, i had this on mine, gets very annoying at times lol. all i did was change the whole belt unit.
    might have a spare one in my shed if you're interested

    Thanks for quick reply Danny,

    Will check out re. the popper thing. Sure that would be cheaper than a whole belt (pretty strapped for spare cash atm ), otherwise it's eBay for one, unless you can do a good deal for yours?
