Removing molded-in seat belts from seats

What's the best way to do this? Dremel tool? Fill in with putty? I'd appreciate the input! Thanks...

Dremel tool and then sanding sticks - use putty to even up and then sanding sticks for final finish.

Just one note - this is really something you have to be patient in doing as it doesn't take long to go too far or mess the seat up, especially with the Dremel.

I scrape them off with a chisel shaped exacto blade and then as Ray says smooth off with sand paper.

Ray is dead right about taking it slowly!

Yep, that's why I didn't just go at it with my dremel!
