Seat Belt: Service and Repair
WEB STOP BUTTON REPLACEMENT
The webbing of each of the tip half seat belts in this vehicle is equipped with a molded plastic web stop button, which holds the latch plate of the seat
belt tip half in a readily accessible stored position and prevents it from falling to the lower belt anchor while the belt is not in use. If this button becomes
damaged or separated from the belt webbing, it may be successfully replaced using the following procedure without the need for removing or replacing
the entire seat belt assembly.
The web stop button replacement kit includes two molded plastic replacement button halves: a male button half with a pointed spike in its center, and a
female button half with a hole in its center. The button halves are not available separately. In addition to the button replacement kit, a pair of wheel
weight pliers (such as KD Tools(R) #3358, Snap-on(R) #WWPR13A or equivalent) and a gel-type super adhesive glue (such as Mopar(R) Bond-All Gel
#04467709 or equivalent) are required.
NOTE: Avoid using heavy-duty, truck-style wheel weight pliers as the jaws may not close far enough to successfully complete web stop button
replacement.
WARNING: Carefully inspect all seat belts, buckles, mounting hardware, retractors, tether straps, and anchors for proper installation,
operation, or damage. Replace any belt that is cut, frayed, or torn. Straighten any belt that is twisted. Tighten any loose fasteners.
Replace any belt that has a damaged or ineffective buckle or retractor. Replace any belt that has a bent or damaged latch plate or
anchor plate. Replace any child restraint anchor or the unit to which the anchor is integral that has been bent or damaged. Never
attempt to repair a seat belt or child restraint component. Always replace damaged or ineffective seat belt and child restraint
components with the correct, new and unused replacement parts listed in the Chrysler Mopar(R) Parts Catalog. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in possible serious or fatal injury.
1. Carefully inspect the seat belt webbing to identify the hole or witness mark where the original web stop button halves (2 and 5) were installed. If
no distinct evidence of the prior button location is found, go to Step 2. If the original button location is clearly evident, go to Step 3.
2. Find the appropriate dimension in the Web Stop Button Location table. Measure and mark that distance (4) in the center of the belt webbing from
the point where the webbing is secured to the seat belt lower anchor plate (3).
