Seat belt differences?
Ok, now I'm wondering... I've got a '90 DX h/b & my seat belts are in the doors (which really sucks). 90Civicrider also has a '90, but no belts in the doors. Hmmm... Are they that much different in Canada? What I'm wondering is if the 90-91 USDM h/b's only came with the belts in the doors? Or did the 88-89 as well? I've seen other hatch's without the belts in the doors, but honestly never paid attention to what year it was
 I'm asking because I hate my belts in the doors, and I like the style of door panel that is in 90Civicrider's hatch (with that little pocket at the bottom of the panel). Could I switch over to the 'other' seat belts & just get different door panels?

yea you can switch, you need the seat belt harness though and all those pieces...it came on the body in 88 and 89, on the doors in 90 and 91...I have a usdm 91 with seat belts on the doors and hate it
My door closes on the seat belt and it chips the paint when the metal belt gets crushed

ahhh c'mon CZ_R...you don't have a tougher ? than that? :silly2: LOL!
the 88-89 the seat belts were mounted to the car...the 90-91 they are mounted to the door. it only took me buying 3 different '90 Civic's and my friend slamming the belt in the door in each one to realize maybe to check out an 89. now as you know, i can't stand the screw holes in the corner lights of the 88-89....so to make the perfect match i got an 89 and upgraded to 90 fenders. i know i'm a freak...but at least i have a method to my madness ami

if your belts are messing up the paint that bad, try taking your car to a honda dealership and having them fix it. If you look back, there is a thread I started about auto seatbelts being messed up, but I am too lazy to look for it. I never actually took my car to get them fixed cause they started to work again and havent given me problems since.

Yeah, seatbelts are under a lifetime warranty, they will fix or replace them for free if they don't spool back up. Had it done on mine, didn't even have to ask them, they offered to do it when I had my car in the shop for something else... and it's free.

Will they fix the doors too? Both door interior's are damaged because the belts always get caught when the door is shut?

You probably gotta make an appointment.
Don't think they'll fix the damage though. The reason the seatbelts are under that warranty is because it's a safety device... I don't think they care about any cosmetic defects due to the seatbelts not working... I think they're just covering their ass so they don't get sued for faulty belts.
