Car Forum / Honda Cars / May 2006Replacement of driver's side seatbelt in 1990 Honda accord LX
The seat belt listed is worn and frayed, I am trying to replace it with a new one and it would cost here in my home town between $150 and $200 to get it done at a auto repair shop. I have check a number of books about repairs to Hondas but found nothing on replacement of seat belts. Any help would be appreciated. > The seat belt listed is worn and frayed, I am trying to replace it with a > new one and it would cost here in my home town between $150 and $200 to > get it done at a auto repair shop.

I was told wear isn't covered when I asked. I would ask your local dealer. dan >> The seat belt listed is worn and frayed, I am trying to replace it >> with a new one and it would cost here in my home town between $150 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Fraying isn't covered by the lifetime seat belt warranty? No. Only functionality problems are covered. Check a local wrecking yard for a replacement.  SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ ................ No. Only functionality problems are covered. So, if the drivers side belt doesn't fully retract, is that a functionality problem? > ................

Since the belt can still actually be worn, it might not be. Check with your dealer.

However, taking seat belts (particular the driver's belt, which is very likely to have been in use) from a wreck with crash damage is not the best idea. Seat belt material does stretch during the crash to absorb the forces, so seat belts that have been used in crashes may be less effective in subsequent crashes.

So pick a car that got sideswiped or something. Don't pick the one where the grille is embedded in the firewall. Also, there will be lots of '90s in the boneyard now that are there with very minor damage, but were totalled because they're worthless.
