Front Passenger Seat Belt Issues

[JennytheJeep]

My 2007 Cherokee KJ's passenger front seat belt buckle does not stay clicked in if not under tension. It will click into place, but if you just sit there for a few seconds with it on your lap as usual it will just pop back out, but if pulled tight it will stay in place inside the buckle. The seat belt buckle is cracked down the middle of the red bit, so I am imagining it just needs the buckle replaced, as the belt itself is in good condition still.

Stuck for parts in Western Australia as Jeeps are not popular enough to be abundant at scrap yards, and trying to avoid spending a lot of $$ on sending over a part from the states. Are any aftermarket brands you find online safe enough to use or compatible?

Sorry I didn't know about after market stuff, you might find the spring in the latch has broken.

This worked in my 2006 none electric seat. You will need to cut off connector and put on the connector from the jeep seat. It's a 2 wire switch. Doesn't mater which wire goes where. Use butt splices.

The bracket is 1" shorter. So instead of the seat receptacle being above the seat bottom it is level with the top of the seat bottom. You do not have drill out the seat belt bolt hole. As some reviewers said. Just take a round file and knock off the paint. Bolt will be a snug fit. Which is good.
