Lapbelt won't buckle...how do I remove it?

[4doorfury]

Ok for some reason the lapbelt on the driver's side will not buckle/lock. I've tried WD-40 and tinkering with it but can't get the damn thing to work again. How do I remove the piece? I tried tonight to, but Honda put two screws for covers in two places that you can't get to unless you have a right angle screwdriver(which I had but not the right size). UGH! I need to get it replaced...for now I'm just using the passenger side lap belt buckle. Any help would be appreciated. Do I need to remove the entire seat to get to it? It's for a 91 LX sedan w/automatic seat belts.

seriously?

how much of a warrenty? I got a 90 accord with the passinger side sholder belt motor doesnt move. Would they fix that? Also the sholder strap on the otherside is all ripped up like someones dog tryed to eat it in about 6 places... would they replace that?

I called the dealer and he said he would take a look at it. There is a warranty on it and he said as long as there isn't something spilled in it he'll order parts. So I'm going to head over to the closest stealership(about an hour away ugh), and see what they can do.

Outcome - Went to dealer, dropped car in "express check" lane. The guy took my info, told me within an hour he'd know if he had parts or not(not sure why it would take so long?) Anyways, I watched a soccer game and started to sleep and about 45 mins later he woke me up. He ordered the parts, they'll be here next week. I'm getting charged $0 for all of it! I kept asking if it was covered and free, and he kept saying yes. Worst part of the whole trip - not having my laptop to cruise cb7tuners while at the dealer...they had a hotspot setup, I was like waaaah?! Best part...used like NO gas to get to the dealer and back.

Looks like I am going to call my local stealer to get the passenger side taken care of....I read that there is a lifetime warranty on the seatbelt for the "useful" life of the car....Thanks for the tip and info

I call the deal and they said it would be 45$ to look at it. if it was under warrenty they would fix it free and not charge the 45$. If it wasnt under warrenty they would charge me the 45$ and offer to fix it at whatever there shop fees and parts cost where...ill wait to have them look at it after the first... My car has a big "reconstructed" on the title and some wiring issues. I dont think they will cover something the mechanics who repaired the car forgot to do.

Well the end result is this. The guy from the dealership called today and said my parts are in...so after work I went there...an hour or so later, I drove away with a new buckle! For absolutly free. No strings attached. So if you guys have a problem, check out the dealership!
