Today was vacuuming back seat and floor on my 87 GT and noticed this.

I’ve owned the car since 1997, am only the second owner, and am puzzled. I’ve noticed it before but never actually took the time to snap the pic and ask the question. Is there supposed to be a cap or a plug that is supposed to cover that bolt which holds bottom of seat belt? It’s like that on both sides.

No. That;s how they are.

Welcome to cheap 1980's manufacturing.

If Ford had put one on, it would have fallen off like the armrest screw covers.

The crayons and french fries that were put into that top have fallen down and covered the holes on mine.

Mine disintegrated upon touching them as well. I bought the replacement ones from LMR and am happy with them.
