WTB: Working Auto Belt Upgrade or Manual Conversion

I would prefer to just go ahead and convert to a manual seat belt setup for both the driver's and passenger's side.

If a manual conversion isn't easy to source, I need a working driver's side auto belt setup, the whole assembly - track, wiring, motor, and cable spool system. I'd like that it come from a vehicle that has already had the recall service. I assume that they improved the design for better longevity and wouldn't waste time installing junk parts in a recall???

I would consider a working pre-recall setup as well.

Help! I don't want to get stopped for no seat belt and I honestly don't like the feeling of just the lap belt.

Where are you located? Sunroof or no sunroof? The headliner needs to be swapped as well.

No sunroof and I'm in Oklahoma. I would really rather not have to hassle with the headliner if at all possible. I read something about the trim being more narrow or wider without the seatbelt track and that's why it needed to be swapped. IF I could still convert without swapping the headliner, I just need a working seat belt and the aesthetics can hold off for awhile. Not to say that it's not important, I just don't have any show car plans for this gas sipper.

auto seatbelt headliner is narrower than manual seatbelt headliner.

you will have gaps on the left and right if you use the auto headliner with manual belts.
