the little triangular belt retainer has cracked and parted on my coupe, can this be replaced while the arm is retracted?.....ive gently levered it but it doesnt come away.....how do i replace this guys without breaking the arm

they are suprisingly cheap from a stealer

when mine broke i think you find the bit where the seat belt is bolted to the floor and undo that and the slip it through

not 100% but it was easy

Just as G.F.P. said...undo bottom bolt and the seat belt will slide through the new triangular piece
Replaced mine recently 5 min job

IIRC the most complex bit was keeping the arm extended long enough to change the plastic bit.. I can't remember if I killed the ignition part way through the process to stop the motor or just did it quickly..

1. Acquire spare
2. Unbolt seatbelt from floor and thread new part on.
3. Open door, switch on ignition, open window.
4. Exit car, shut door, when arm extends, grab both parts and quickly pull old one off.
5. Slide new part up and push into position.
6. Rebolt seatbelt to floor at your leisure.

(Did it on Tuesday!!!)

...and I trust you correctly tensioned the concentric spring which allows the lower rigid part of the belt to fall backwards into the rear footwell
