revox Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Took my 98 OBW to the local Subaru dealer yesterday to plead my case for new seatbelts and, after a bit of arguing, they covered the replacement! I wish my powers of persuasion would've worked for the head gasket replacement a few months ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 96+ has lifetime seatbelt warranty. I've used it on a few cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1-3-2-4 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Thank you for bringing this back up I know for sure I should be getting a free seatbelt mine looks bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Mine doesn't retract very well, and I'm not sure if that's covered. I called my local dealer, but they're dicks.... I'll have to take it to the good dealer about an hour and a half away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used it on a few cars. normal wear & tear is NOT covered under warranty, but if they're actually defective, then yes, they are. They had to make sure some sort of damage (dog chewing, etc..) didn't cause them to fray. They really examined them well for quite a while.

As I said my local dealer sucks, the two times I had mine done I did it at a dealer over an hour away. They're great, I just emailed detailed pictures of the damage and they approved me for repair.
