Science Abuse Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Have some freinds who own both a 2003 Eclips and Lancer, and their dog gnawed up the front belts pretty bad. That can't get anyone to sell them seatbelts without also replacing the airbags, citing some law. This equates to financial rape. Anybody know where they could find some belts?

Science Abuse Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 They seem to be available on OEM parts sites Just drill down through the options Hey cool! Thanks..... HOLY SHIT IT'S OVER $400 FOR THE LANCER!? The elipse parts are $60!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avenger1647545502 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I think the Lancer uses the explosive pre-tensioners, which pull the belts tight when the airbags go off...but the Eclipse does not. Probably something to do with belt geometry in coupes vs sedans... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 The dealership wont sell them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 The dealership wont sell them? Not without the airbag, too. They said the dealership told them that they were obligated to replace the system as a whole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Not without the airbag, too. They said the dealership told them that they were obligated to replace the system as a whole I can see this if they are being replaced due to a front-end collision. But wear and pet damage shouldn't need the whole system replaced. I'd see if I could find the law in question and check if it meant only for collision replacement.

ansonivan Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I would have him try a different dealer, I know bmw dealers will sell those parts individually so I doubt there's a actually a legal issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
