My vehicle is a 2004 v70 D5, and I'm seeking advice over rear seat belts -specifically the Near side Rear
Some time ago, one of my grandkids "unpicked" the "button" that stops the webbing winding too far back into the housing, which results in the seat belt lock-up that is not an unfamiliar problem. The belt now has a minor tear about 1/4" long along the webbing where it was unpicked, I replaced the "button", but they keep falling off. Murphy's law, during MoT on Tuesday it fell off, and examiner stated it was a major failure since the belt was damaged, so car off road.

Fair enough - but I'm unable to locate a replacement (well, I've not tried Volvo - the cost is likely to be more than the car would justify).

So the nub of the question - are there any alternative belts which could be used, or does anyone have any other ideas/suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
