seat belt latch

[oldtomjeep]

I did a search and found some chatter, but still would like to know if anyone here has replaced a broken or defective seat belt for the driver.

My latch sometimes clicks in OK, and sometimes requires me to jiggle it around to get it latched.

Anyone have any thoughts or experience? The dealer wants $250 for it.

Get a tube of graphite powder for door locks and puff some down in there then latch and re-latch a few times to work it in....

yeah junk yard i got a hole seat for $40 and all i needed was the seat adjuster i went to use the seat belt but it was the wrong color as the spring in my seat beat is broken right now i have a self tapping screw drilled down into it so i have something to grab onto and pull it up till i find a black one

A new Mopar buckle end is $50. Installing it yourself...priceless (or in this case, worth $200).
Used ones on flebay are going for more than a new one, go figure!
