Rear Seat Belt Falling Out Fix

Rear Seat Belt Falling Out Fix
seeing that I thought, I thought I put the rear seat belt hook in place properly, it still falls out. so I fixed it.
here is how you can fix yours also. pull down on the front of the housing, after unhooking the belt if it is in place, the back is slotted and comes out last. it snaps in and out of place.
you can see how the belt fits in the metal bracket. the bracket needs to be bent a small amount to tighten it. remove the metal bracket by unscrewing it.
bend the tip a small amount here,
and the other side here.
so it fits tighter in this way,
and here also
after a trial fitting of the belt in the fittings, making sure they are not too tight, but fit snugly, pass the belt through the plastic opening and hook the back and snap the front of the housing back in place. one of my plastic snap guides was bent out of place ( bottom left last picture), so I made sure that went back into place properly on reassembly.
hope this helps. its not rocket science.

it just might be that the new one may be just as loose as the one that came with the car originally. I realise, there may be some who think it is the sole responsibility of the servicing dealership to resolve problem issues. I hope my post is helpful to those that have the skills to resolve small issues such as this, and the interest in learning about their honda product. It took me about ten minutes to complete this repair, about half the time it usually takes for a service writer to ascertain exactly what is your complaint, and verify that it is something that he thinks he can resolve, much less the time spent leaving the car at the dealership while the shuttle drives you home, if your lucky enough to be within their shuttle service area.
repairing some things, such ss ( I forgot to put the "a" in "as", its supposed to read "such as") this, isnt for everybody. I hope it might be useful to some, who might want to perform the repair themselves, and show how simple it would be for the home tinkerer. I would guess the skill level needed is a 2. tools needed are a cross-tip screwdriver (phillips/panhead #2) and needle nose pliers.

I know how you feel JoeFit. I couldn't be bothered by having to drop my car off to address something as this. You have to weigh how much your time is worth. Some of these things I don't think should need to be done so soon after taking ownership. My rear emblem needed replacing because one of the pins snapped off. The new one is loose also despite snugging up the push pins. Everytime I close the hatch you can hear it rattle. Then you have the paint issue. I used 3/16 rubber washers. Not sure if it will work the same as the galvanized but I won't get the bumbers painted for that small of a paint issue. If it peels I touch it up. Won't have to worry about not matching. Now if I have a major issue then it's warranty time.

i'm lucky not to have that problem, at least not yet! but that is a great write-up joefit! i would agree that small issues like these should be fixed by oneself if he/she is able to do so. bringing it to a shop or dealership just gives them a chance to mess something else up in the process. that's my opinion.
