IanMc Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Well this morning I seem to be having another one of (increasingly common) dumb days. After receiving the NS seat belt arm from Exclusive Opel (sincere thanks once again!), I thought that I would quickly fir that up this morning... All was going well until I tried to snap on the top finishing cap. Basically I just cant get both little 'tangs' to snap around the outside edges of the metal guide. One, yep no problem, but never both. I suspected that I may have something in the wrong order, thereby removing the space I needed for the tangs, but I cant seem to see that I have anything wrong - so please help this old man Here are a few photos to show what I have currently and the cap with the tangs. You can see one of the two tangs right next to my finger in the third photo. Oh by the way, I hadn't fitted the other side previously and that is the same - so I cant even refer to that - Doh! Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike. Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) If I remember correctly, you don’t push it or snap it into position with a big thump, this just bends the plastic tabs on the back of this cover. Firstly check the two plastic tabs and see that they are not distorted, then offer up the cover into position, once in position push up towards the roof, I know the seatbelt chrome loop will be restricting when you do this but all you are looking to achieve here is to locate the two plastic tabs above the thin sheet of metal that holds the chrome loop then you push on it firmly and slide it down behind it, then it sits correctly and fixed in position. An awkward job which will try your patience. I'm sure you’ll master this one. Edited September 7, 2019 by Mike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Ah, so it’s all right then 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green diamond Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I thought there should be a washer or spacer between the plastic arm and the seat belt loop, other wise its that close its just going to ping the cover off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
