My GX71 failed it's WOF on a seatbelt that wouldn't retract well. I spent a while mucking around and managed to free it up a little bit, enough to retract slowly. I was going to go back for the recheck and then thought "Why not?" This is why you don't remove the cover

Spring explodes out and hits you in the face :cry:

I don't want to pay $200+ for a new one, does anyone have any leads on 2nd hand?

LOL!!!

Don't blame you, I'd do the same though.

sometimes you have to wonder how they manage to get it together in the firstplace

by **Quint** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 4:40 pm

Bwhahahaha. I've done that.

I've got a set of generics somewhere if you're interested.

by **thegreatestben** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 4:57 pm

I have done the same as you before.
If you were local I could hook you up on a new one

by **AE86less** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 5:04 pm

Haha, you have to see the funny side of these things

TGB: You can't send it in the mail?

I'll see how we go with 2nd hand.

If you get desperate/figure out what you need I could see what I can do.
It's lucky you arent a douchebag other wise I wouldn't help you :wink:

HAHAHA i did exactly the same thing 3 days ago! I figured that warning was all show too. Repco has them for $138 for the belt and the buckle. the "Seat belt shop" has em for $135 but you have to cut somethign to size which didnt sound safe to me...

by **rollaholic** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 5:33 pm

if you like i can get you trade at repco.

but surely pickas / GD has what you need

by **samlloyd** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 5:35 pm

bloody done the same thing to my tapemeasure, bastard

I'm not a douche, just an ex AW owner

Lol at the warning being all for show. I figured the same thing. I don't know how well a belt and buckle set would work as the buckle is part of the seat frame.. Also, I know it's picky, but I have a maroon interior...

by **thegreatestben** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 6:27 pm

I don't stock maroon, not entirely sure I could ease the blow on the price even if I could.

I miss my pimp gx71 interior myself.

by **AE86less** » Fri Dec 11, 2009 7:10 pm

That interior is pure badness.

My dash has been pulled apart for about 4 months cause the interior fan doesn't work/can't figure out the wiring to fix it. I'd forgotten what it looks like.

I may have to give Ewan a bell and get one from Japan..

OVER NIGHT PARTS FROM JAPAN!

Haha, Ryan, I spent last week working on the same sites as your uncle. He asked if I'd bought my GX off you :lol:

by **ryanfels** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 1:42 pm

by **AE86less** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 3:44 pm
