Steps
Release the belt trim and panel
Pry off the upper seat-belt cover and remove its fastener. Release the rear panel clips and lift the panel away without twisting or trapping the belt.
Move the belt hardware
Remove the belt trim fastener and note the belt path through the panel. Keep the belt and retractor upright and free of twists while access work is performed.
Position and secure the panel
Route the belt through its original opening, align the panel clips, and press the panel into place. Reinstall the belt mounting hardware and tighten it to the vehicle specification.
Check belt and panel operation
Refit the belt covers and verify the belt pulls out, retracts, and latches normally. Confirm all panel clips are seated and no trim interferes with belt movement.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
