Last week my driver-side seatbelt utterly failed me! It would come unclasped whenever I leaned forward to make a change to the radio or took a deep breath. It came unclasped a total of 16 times during a 40 mile drive.
After trying lubricants that supplied only a short-lived fix, Kenny placed the passenger side connector onto the driver-side, but today, at the GM dealership where I went to inquire about belts, it wouldn't accept the seatbelt connector! It finally did after about 10 tries.
GM dealership stated they order all of their older parts from Corvette Central, Ecklers and MidAmerica. This evening I pulled out my catalogs, and this is what I found:
CC only offers, for my year vette, a 'replacement' lap belt only. No shoulder belt.
MA offers the same 'replacement' lap belt, and the entire seatbelt system for several 100 $s.
E does offer the individual parts (#28394), and the seatbelt connector/buckle is $98.99/ea.
The $100 price tag is high, but I need to be seated safely in the 78!
