    1970 Shoulder Belts

    In the interest of preservation of the original leather seats in my low mileage coupe, I purchased a set of "Seat Savers". I thought I could just slip on these puppies and save the seats.......SURPRISE! I thought I would slip the belts through the seats and install the covers till Show Time when I would remove same and reinstall the belts. As everyone knows, there is a rubberized cover over a portion of the buckel which keeps the belt captive in the seat back. Since I could not figure out how to remove this part I thought maybe it needed to be heated with a hair dryer to make it plyable for removal but if that is the case and since this part is "fitted", will it take it's original shape when it cools and need to be heated again to reinstall?????? All suggestions and help is appreciated. Bill #20328

    Yes, Bill, that should do the trick. Be gentle and don't force anything. They will probably be brittle. Note: Notice the way they are installed; I have judged many cars that had them on backwards.

      Walk a small pan of boiled water out to the garage and dip the boots of the shoulder harness in. They will become extremely soft and pliable.
