5 Steps

Big Rig Seat Belt for Air Ride Seats

Step # 1: To begin replacement, remove the existing seat belt that you are replacing including the long side of harness on the outboard side (towards the door, between the seat and the side of the vehicle) and the short side of the seatbelt on the inboard side (inside side of seat).

Step # 2: Replacement: Insert the hex bolt through the (A) Retractor End of your new Wesco big rig seat belt. Note: The retractor box plastic cover snaps away exposing the bolt hole if necessary. Then insert the hex bolt into the existing anchor point (threaded hole). Fig. 1 and tighten the hex bolt.
This seatbelt is designed to work with Air Ride type seats. (The hex bolt should be firmly tightened.)


Heavy Truck Angle Bracket Seat Belt Installation

Note: With some vehicles, the anchor point is located on the floor which requires the use of an Angle Bracket. (See Fig. 1b to the left) (An angle bracket is included in our optional Hardware Kit $9.95 # 3pt-rmk.) See our replacement Hardware Page Click Here.

Important If no anchor points exist, then before replacement, anchor points must be safely created.




Step # 3: Remove the plastic sash guide cover off of the new tractor trailer seat belt. Fig. 1 Now insert the Shoulder Bolt through the hole in the Shoulder Sash (B) End of your new truck seat belt and then through the bolt end hole of the Comfort Latch and then through the lock washer. (Paper retaining washer can be removed if present) Screw the bolt into the existing anchor point that is located on the upper door post as seen in Fig. 1 and then firmly tighten. Now snap the shoulder sash cover over the sash guide. My vehicle does NOT have a shoulder bolt anchor point for seat belts. How do I create One? Click Here!

Step # 5: Last step! Insert the hex bolt through the bolt-in end of the D End Female Seat Belt End, and screw it into the inboard side (center of the vehicle side of seat) existing anchor point on seat. Firmly tighten.
