Don't know of any place other than what you have posted. Have you considered something similar out of another type used car (junk yard wreck)?

Here's where we get ours. They require some triming but look pretty good when installed.

Denise gave me a pair when I needed them. She had a pair that came off of a Chevy of some sort, might even have been a pickup. She'd gotten them from a wrecking yard if I recall, you might try that. They ended up working perfectly and the color match was very close.

they came from a late 90's or early 2000's model GM vehicles. I may have a couple more left but they will have to be dyed to match your interior. Here's a pic of one. You just remove the staple and pull the belt out of the holder, trim to fit your belt, and viola, you have a new seatbelt holder:

I am not particular about the colour, Ideally beige or black will do. Keeping me eye open here at home. So far no such luck :cry:

The site listed in the above post did not work for ordering. It failed to provide a place shipping rate input, then chewed you out for not entering it. Maybe they were bought out or maybe it is a temporary problem. At any rate, I ordered from:

https://www.seatbeltplanet.com/seatbelt ... 28/view/73

Except for the firm name, the presentation, content and product line appear to be exactly the same - It is either a buyout or an off-shore pyramid source. For the price, I took a chance.

having a tough time justifying the shipping cost vs the product cost. Guess the plastic is gold plated :roll:

USPS Priority International Flat Rate - $32.95
UPS Canada Standard - $19.60 (which will add duty & brokerage fees +$30.00)
UPS Worldwide Express - $82.99
UPS Worldwide Expedited - $76.27

Don't know where that came from. This is from the actual order page; Flat rate is 5 bucks:

UPS Next Day Air Early AM - $94.34
UPS Next Day Air - $59.00
UPS Next Day Air Saver - $54.26
UPS 2nd Day Air - $23.83
UPS 3 Day Select - $19.15
UPS Ground - $13.15
Flat Rate - $5.00

Being a web designer, I would not be surprised if there is wrong info on some other page of the site, but I paid via PayPal and the order went through just fine. I guess some of those shipping rates are for the guy who has to have it ready for Pebble Beach next weekend. (Although I'm not expecting Pebble Beach quality for this price!) :P

Jay, email me if you want me to send you what I have. I can send them to Canada as a gift so it doesn't cost an arm and leg. spyderlady71@yahoo.com
