how to replace 94 940 seat belt

well...i can tell you you will be removing the plastic vertical piece...that runs up the pillar, between the front and rear seats...i did this to mess around w/lubercating the re-winding thing-a-bob.......once you remove the plastic cover...a lot more of the belt will be exposed...i am not what the next steps would be...do you have a shop manual?

l>Can you please tell me how to replace the front passenger seat belt of a 94

I replaced the drivers side belt on my Green 94 940 because I simply wore it out. The replacement I obtained had had the tensioner fired. I had to use my old tensioner so I would have a useable tensioner and no SRS alarm light. The attached pics may help you. Note you do not have to remove the latch device shown in pic ---064. You just reach in through the hole, push in the black ring and then lift the front of the seat tray.

I do not have shop manual. How do you remove the plastic vertical piece? Jerry

In article , snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com by Jerry. West dropped his wrench, scratched his head and mumbled,

1. Remove the T25 screws
2. Lift out the oval covers on the door sill pieces-- two in the front one in the rear.
3. Remove the Torx screws
4. Remove the screw at the rear of the lower seat cushion on the seat frame.
5. Slide the metal clip on the inside edge of this piece forward to expose the slot in the plastic and work the webbing through the slot so that it is free of the cover.
6. Lifting from the rear, rotate the cover toward the front of the car, and out of your way.
7. The seat side reel is now exposed.
8. Starting at the top of the B pillar trim, work your finger tips between the plastic and the weatherstrip and pull inwards, the plastic surround on the belt opening will come loose at this point and can be set aside. Continue to pull the trim panel away from the B pillar, lifting up at the very bottom to free the attachment hooks from the door sill pieces and work the belt free.
9. Remove the front door sill section.
10. Remove the lower anchor bolt on the pillar side reel.
11. Disconnect the orange plug for the active seat beat if equipped. Remove the charge tube locating screw and clamp.
12. Remove the upper pivot bolt.
13. Remove the bolt holding the seat reel in place.

N.B. When installing the new belt it must be in an attitude very similar to it's installed position in order to release the inertial lock on the seat reel. It's a good idea to find this position and extend the belt fully and clamp it in the extended position with a clothespin clamp prior to attempting installation.

1. Once the seat reel is attached, clip the free end of the belt into the console side belt latch. Attach the upper pivot and bolt, then use the free length to let the B pillar reel hang close to installed position. Install the lower B pillar bolt. (Also attach the clamp and screw for the explosive charge on active belt if equipped. Reconnect the orange SRS plug.)

1. At this point release the belt from the latch and check that the operation is smooth and that both reels work correctly.

2. Refit the trim.

You don't have to fiddle with the front mount at all. The piece will rotate to vertical and be completely out of the way.

Thank you very much, Bob. Do you think I should make my own Torx screwdriver tool? Can you tell me if I can find used or salvage parts for this Volvo parts online or in Northern California? Thank you, Jerry

Thank you, Al. Nice pic. Can you tell me if I can find used or salvage parts for this Volvo parts online or in Northern California? Thank you, Jerry

If the tensioner fired, would it be safe to assume that the belt had been involved in an accident?

If yes, I'd be hesitant to use the belt... as they do stretch when involved in an accident.
