may be necessary. But if the belts were
stretched, as they would be if worn
during a more severe crash, then you
need new belts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace
them. Collision damage also may mean
you will have to have safety
belt parts
like the retractor replaced or anchorage
locations repaired
-
even if the belt
wasn't being used at the time of the
collision.

Before replacing any safety belt, see
your dealer for the correct part number.
You'll need the model year and the
model
number of
your vehicle.
The
model year is on your title and
registration.
And
you can find
the
model
number on the certification/tire label
of
your vehicle.
The model number on the replacement
belt must be listed on the safety belt you
want to replace.
