Ive just discovered, somewhat belatedly perhaps, that my car is missing the rear seat belt buckles...! :oops:
What a bizarre thing !? Perhaps they have been lost "inside" the cushions, I havent investigated further as yet..
Looking on the parts fiche, such as it is, on Eurospares, the model appears to have only one rear buckle but both belts..Can this be right ? I understand it would satisfy the MOT but it doesnt seem entirely complete somehow...
The seat cushion appears to have a couple "inserts" below the arm rest too...? Can anyone throw any light on whats missing and/or why please ?
Any advice on removing the seat cushions would be a boon, too..!

Many thnx !
:)

I imagine they are below the seat cushion as you suspect. There are two little trays in the seat squab that they are supposed to sit in, if they are fitted they are going to be between the two parts of the seat somewhere near them.

They are probably stuck somewhere. They should fit into the little pockets but never do

Ha....sorted ! They were, for whatever reason, lost behind the upholstery...!
Now resurrected in their proper place...which I resigned to be "in the general area" of the little trays ! :p
I also rotated the drivers belt clip and refit it, as it too was inside out. The mind boggles....:)
