stevie_b Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 I've managed to cross-thread the driver's seat seatbelt clip retainer bolt. It looks like this bolt is an integral part of the seat chassis. Anyone else had anything similar? Any ideas on how to fix it? I think the thread is too near to the chassis to be able to get a thread die on it. I haven't tried a thread file but I don't have one, and I'm doubtful that it'll work. The bolt is in the middle of the attached photo. This is the driver's seat laid on its side, with the side nearest the transmission tunnel visible.

evinX Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Seat out. Plastic trims off. Bolster off. Drill the bolt out. HSS bits with some lube. Fit new bolt (m8?) from the back through the hole. Buckle holder over with a nut to secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
