Ok the plastic "button" that holds the latch half way up the belt when not in use has fallen off. So basically whenever I get in the car I gotta dig for the latch between the seat and the floor, its rather annoying.

I purchased the new piece and installed it with a small vise and some 3M plastic adhesive, but it fell off after a week. I purchased another one and before I try installing it I would like to know if anyone knows the proper way to attach one perminentally. The dealer wanted to charge me an hours labor witch is outrageous for a $3 part.

I know this is a small issue, its just really annoying because I like to have a complete car with as little issues as possible.

Thanks in advance.

well to replace the whole bet is out of the question because the retainer comes as a piece and that is super expensive. And I dont think you want to peirce the belt for your safety. JBWELD is the ****. Any high strength epoxy. Take some 200 grit sandpaper and sand it down then use the epoxy and put the button on there and hold it with a C lamp and LET IT CURE FOR THE TIME IT SAYS. that **** will never come off.

They used to come apart and fall out on my Toyotas, They would only sell you the entire seat belt assembly complete.

I just got color matched buttons from the fabric store and sewed them on.
