Factory-installed lap/shoulder seat belts should be reinstalled at their original positions when the blanket order to repair thread damage becomes necessary. The first step includes removing the broken 7/16 x 20 Torx (R) head anchor bolt before drilling the seat belt anchor plate threads with a 27/64-inch drill. You should then rethread the anchor plate with a 1/2-13 tap while thoroughly removing any chips. The Parts Replacement Chart for Seat Belt With Damaged Weld Nut Anchor Plate Threads specifies the need to use new service parts rather than original ones. To finish the repair process install the attachment parts in proper order while tightening the new bolt by hand then torque it to 40 Nm (30 lb-ft).

Rethread the anchor plate with a 1/2-13 tap and blow out any chips.

Failure to adhere to these guidelines may result in personal injury.

Safety belt assemblies not in use during the collision should also be inspected for damage or incorrect operation, with new assemblies installed if any issues are found.

All safety belt assemblies, including retractors, buckles, front safety belt buckle support assemblies, shoulder belt height adjusters, child safety seat tether bracket assemblies, and attaching hardware.

Pull the excess webbing through the lower slot, ensuring that the safety belt tongue faces inward upon completion.

Rotate and fold the belt webbing over itself within the slot to eliminate the twist.
