FG G6E 10/2011 rear centre seat belt parcel tray bezel.

[Linz]

Hey GT, can you tell me if these are available (separately or at all)?

Coz' this is what happened to mine...

It has the number 6101155 on the back, probably not relevant, but thought I'd add it anyway...looks to be the same part as the outer seatbelt bezels.

I haven't had the back seat base out as yet, so not certain if these slip over a seat belt connector tab as in the B series wagons, or if they're only available with a complete seat belt assembly originally.
If only still available as a complete assembly, I'll repair this one or carefully extract one from the wreckers.

Hi Linz,

Will try and dig a bit further, but from what I can find so far, it looks like it only comes as part of the seat belt assembly itself as per image below. It is not shown as part of the parcel shelf image either.

Centre seat belt assembly not that expensive at around $80.

Get back to you if in fact it is sold separate.

Never been available separately.

There is no way to even get them off the seat belt...even if you do have a stack of old seatbelts like me.

They always break if you car is in the sun or old...usually they detach from the carpet at least once or twice first when the little clips on the back go...then you can glue it back to the carpet and get another 6 months but sooner or later they shatter and you have a big ugly hole there...never been pulled up for roadworthy on it but.

Wouldn't you need to unstitch the seat belt webbing from the attachment points to be able to feed through the webbing through the guide, if it was available as a separate spare? I'm assuming they install the web guide as part of the manufacture of the belt assembly, prior to stitching. You wouldn't want to supply the guide as a spare if it requires re-stitching, as there may be a liability issue?

Just going off memory here on the config of the belts.

Yeh confirmed that it is only sold as part of the belt assembly otherwise you would need to do as Foxtrot mentioned below.

I was not 100% sure as sometimes the trims have a section that has a slit or can be pulled and then fed over the belt, sort of like those used on child seats, but my memory was not that clear, so checked it out to confrim.

Thanks GT...not being at all familiar with the sedans, I thought there may have been something like the wagon centre seat belt bezels with the slit in it to fit over the belt itself, similar to this one off a Ranger...https://www.jeffersonfordparts.com.a...anel-seat-belt
There's no way that I'd ever fool around with unstitching such an important safety item as a seat belt just to replace a bit of plastic...I'll go to the wreckers and get a couple of spare outer belt bezels that aren't in direct sunlight like the centre ones, then get the dremel out and cut a slot the same as the wagon style bezels, that'll work perfectly and the slot will be covered by the belt itself.
Sure, it'll need to be glued in place with a couple of blobs of Sikaflex, but no one ever sits in the back of my cars, so once it's stuck in, it won't ever fall out again

Sorry, Linz, didn't mean to crash the party. Just thought that the config of the guide/bezel, ie not having a slit in it to slide over an installed belt, would be the reason that it wasn't available as a separate spare. Now why they didn't make one with a slit in it, like the Ranger one you linked, is another issue.

Depending on the construction of the guide/bezel and how it affixes in place, you may not have to refix the slit; the guide/bezel may stay reasonably sound as is, especially, as you say, if you place it under the belt so that it can't be seen anyway.

I did exactly that a couple of years back. I found a good one at the wreckers and cut the belt, so I could take just the bezel.

I cut the slit closer to one end, but still under the belt, to make it easier to feed the belt in. Used masking tape to make a “dam” and glued the slit closed with some epoxy. It clipped back in and hasn’t come out. That belt gets used occasionally too.

Thanks for all replies...got a couple of seat belt bezels at the wreckers today...

Forgot to reply to this, cut a slit in the bottom of the bezel...

...then fed the belt through and secured it with a couple of dabs of Sikaflex...
