i just bought some new seatbelt, how do i go about installing them? do i need to remove my chairs? i have a 96 civic EK

what kind of seat belts do you have,
are they harrness ones ? or regular ones ? etc

[Hiikaru]

theyre the regular ones

[kcokla]

no you dont need to remove your chairs
gotta take off the panel thing between the seat and the window / ie the part that your seat belt comes out of,
take that off take the old one out and they'res a bolt behind the seat belt thing at the top,
dont know what its called but its the part 'filters' it into the direction
acts kind of like a hook if u get what i mean.

take that off, re 'string' the new seat belt into that, and attach the bottom of teh seat belt to where the original one used to be (where u had to remove the panal that covers it between the two windows/beside the seats.

the panels, are they bolted in or is it a clip and i just yank it out

had to replace the driver side seatbelt in my old EK once..

- removed rear seats
- removed rear trim to access seat belt
- unbolt seatbelt, bolt in new one..
- then replace all items

panels are clips hikaru, theyre pretty hard though gotta be careful when pulling them out.

the seat belts themselves are bolted.
