Im putting new suede headliner in to finish my interior and I cant get the Hex bolt out that holds the seat belt on! The seat belt is attached to the plastic piece that goes around the rear side windows and that bolt is keeping me from getting the plastic piece off. Do I need to just try harder or has anyone else had this problem?

 

hey not related to the bolt, but where did you buy your suede from and how are you going to apply it?? i want to cover my armrest in suede but have no idea how. Sorry if im hijacking ur thread. u can PM me if you want. Thanks a lot

 

try harder.

 

yea, instead of using a ratched, get a breaker bar on that and maybe even an extension for TQ.

 

u need a breaker bar....its the only way...or something to give you some leverage to put some tq behind it

 

Well I haven't got it yet just need to go pick it up. I just ran out of time today, do to the problem, but Joanne Fabric has it and as far as glue im using a adhesive. But for armrest I dont think it would be strong enough it might have to be sowed on.

Ok thats what I figured I just ran out of time due to the fact that I have to go to work.

 

Yea. im going to staple it to the under side of the lid, but i didnt want it to move around on the top and then get stretched out so i wanted to use a minor adhesive on the top of the so the fabric holds stiff and doesnt move around like you t-shirt sleeve on your skin (sorry, best analogy i could come up with lol)

 

Yea that should definitely work! I bet its gonna be hard tho to pull it tight around the armrest.

 

ehhh ive got my ways lol, some man strength

 

ok.. hows this for an issue. I need to replace my rear panels cuz mine are all scratched and i got free ones.

i cant get the bolt lose either. used an impact, nada. used a breaker bar like 3 feet long and it actually bent and broke the bits i was using.

so, my question is. how the hell do i get this thing off??? the dealer wanted to charge me a couple hundred minimum!

 

Put a pipe over the ratchet handle, extend your leverage.

 

buy better bits....i actually used an autozone bit....power built brand...and that thing can take a beating....but you said you used an impact. how strong is that impact...might need a stronger one

 

i can get a bigger pipe...no problem. the problem is the bits keep twisting and ready to break. ill try to find a better bit. this is bs

 

I went through 3 bits when I took mine off to add a harness. You definatley need a breaker bar and a hell of a strong bit.

 

well then ill buy a bunch of bits. lol. i have a breaker bar thatll work fine. time to get serious

 

Dont even try any zinc bits. They crumble on the first try.

 

did u end up doing it?

 

actually i had one made lol, it should be here today

 

lol yah i asked cause ive had no luck getting this off. im redoing my interior so i was looking to customize both rear pieces
