Anyone else remove there seat belt guides?

[codyGT]

Am I the only one who hates these things. Are there better ones?

 

[03gtmustang]

Those stupid ass rings shouldnt be on there in the first place. Take them off, your seats will look 10x better.

 

[Black2K1]

Yeah I took mine off. That should be the first thing to go once you get a mustang. It is the best free mod that there is.

 

[03gtstangguy]

LOL I never thought of that...I think I will look into doing that right now!

 

[ADRENLN]

how are they connected to the seats? there is no holes on the seats once you remove them is there?

 

[ADRENLN]

also how do u go about pulling those things off?

I removed mine after installing a light bar. I had the light bar on for less than 3 hours before a stupid ass friend of mine jumped in, slides the seat all the way back and scratches the bar. Idiot.

But I removed them using a Torx bit, I think it was like a T20 or T25 or something. It's suppose to be an allen wrench. Most instrcutions say to remove the headrest first then remove the guides. I just slid the head rests all the way up then used the torx key to loosen the bolts, about halfway up (The wrench began to hit the head rest) I used my fingers to take the bolts all the way off. It took all of 15 minutes.

T-25 Torx bit. I didn't remove the head rest to do mine. Just in case I ever need to how do you remove the headrests?

 

[WickedDropTop]

I couldnt figure out how to get my headrests off either when I did mine, took me forever with the torx bit and a wrench, I am curious to know how to do that too.

 

[03gtmustang]

I did it the same way as stangboy999. I didnt know how to take the headrests off.

 

[Kraw]

hate em. ALways getting the belt twisted up in them.

But, the wife won't let me remove them!!!!

 

[vidmaster]

they were a bitch to get off. I was all twisted in the back seat sweating my ass off trying to turn a little torx bit with a wrench those ****ers are LONG screws too, have fun! theres 2 on each side if you pull up the headrest.

 

[vidmaster]

oh yea, i'd suggest putting the scews back into the holes after removing the plastic things that way you don't lose them incase you ever want to put them back on

I removed the driver's side today. It was a PITA to get the torx bit under there but I was able to get it and a ratchet under there. I was just able to break them loose and above the plastic. The outside one I was able to use my fingers to loosen it. The inside one I used wire strippers to screw it out. It is so much flatter than pliers and can easily grip the screw. Still have no idea how to get headrest off.

I think it would be easier to just remove the mounting point and twist it to the right position.. I'll do that on my mom's v6 tomorrow..

Maybe I should remove the loop on my vert too. The person who did alignment slide the seat back and scrath the light bar too I cut mine though...

 

[Defleshed]

ah i removed the passenger side one because i did the "fully reclining seat" mod, so i can put the passenger seat all the way back.

 

[mcmmotorsports]

Removed mine after my girls thought they were cool handles to hold onto during hard launches.

 

[mpcv2000]

I have a convertible , and with the Lightbar it was hitting so I took both off.

 

[StangLou]

Took mine off to. I had a thread about it like a week or so ago. Try to search for it. I just raised the headrests, used a T-27 to break the screw loose, then used a T-20 to give me more room to turn the wrench. Took about 15-20 mins to do both sides. Those screws are LONG!!! They would get loose enough that I could use my hand about halfway through Looks 100% better

Those rings piss me the hell off... I don't know what it is about how I pull my seatbelt out, but I end up making it slide through the little slot and it comes out of them. Unfortunately I need to leave mine there, the seatbelt doesn't fit me right at all without going through the ring.
