94 subie Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hello everyone ! I am a new owner of a older Subaru "94" wagon . the wagon only has 94 K and after doing some work to it and steam cleaning the kid goop out of the insides it looks great, almost new. Unfortunately someone cut the drivers automatic seatbelt half way thru and a rear passenger belt as well ( the male side ) so I am looking for these parts as well as instruction as to how to replace the drivers belt that comes from the center console and hooks to the electric track on the door frame. all info will be greatly appreciated including short cuts ! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 what color are you needing? I have a 90 LS wagon with the darker brown interior (red exterior) with good belts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 subie Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 have a blue interior . how hard is it to R&R the drivers belt inside the center console? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 subie Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 how much for the two belts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have never had to try fixing one - but the belt assembly as a whole should be fairly easy to r&r. the console cover will need to be removed to get to it, and it may be easier to do that with the seats out (4 bolts each) $20 and you cover shipping costs sound ok? I am fairly sure I could probably fit them in a flat rate box. They are a bit dusty/dirty (i live on a gravel road), but in good repair. I am swapping the seats out of the 90 into my current 95 Legacy (much better quality seat) so the belts will be easy for me to get to - I have to keep the 95 belts, so these wont be needed.

MilesFox Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I have had to replace seat belt reels. The ones in the console are a pair of reels tued together, and swaps as a unit. Just remove the center console to get to it. I had to replace mine because the ratchet inside failed. Also, subaru offers a lifetime guarantee on seatbelts. I am not sure of the terms to claim it, but it is stated in the owners manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 subie Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 thanks for the info about the life time replacement will look into that and get back to you about yours after I know more if that's ok ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 subie Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 heartless , milesfox told me about the seatbelt replacement so going to see about them tomorrow by calling the dealer ... will report on this later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartless Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 That is more than fine - if you can get yours replaced with new - for free, and possibly get the right color - definitely go for it. I have been hanging around here since 2001, not too hard to find if you do decide you want them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartless Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Please edit your post to remove your phone number! You should never, ever post things like that in a public forum! If you want to send me that in a private message, that would be great. or at least modify it so it doesnt look like a phone number... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
