Christopher2110 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Anyone know of a 'How to" on removing the seat belt from a 986 (want to send it off for a colour change)? Obviously the one bolt is easy to spot but the other seems to be located behind the b pillar? Can't imagine you have to but can anyone confirm if its best practise to disconnect the battery before removing? Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blues N Twos Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Top tip as I’ve recently done this. The passenger side is very difficult to get back in without scratching the roll over frame. I grinded off about 5mm from the locating pin and it was an easy instal. Thepin is purely a locating pin to help line up the main anchoring bolt. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher2110 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 @Saxosim 2002-2004 have pyrotechnics or so the how to states, so yes best to disconnect the battery and leave off and not fiddle with the ignition until they’re reinstalled. Hoping to get it done this week so will let you know how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southy Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Great little upgrade will worth it, mine is a 2001 car so I didn't have to disconnect the battery as the belts were not linked to the airbag system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher2110 Posted February 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Following on from disconnecting the battery... My car lives on the drive under a cover, now I’ve learnt the hard way before that the key needs to be in the ignition and turned one click to stop the alarm going mental, I’ll need to send the belts off to be done so that’ll mean leaving the battery disconnected for a couple of days. So the question is does anyone know if the key can be taken out of the ignition to lock the car without the alarm going off and the neighbours wanting to kill me?

Blues N Twos Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Well it's the middle of the day.... go for it and see If it goes off put key in ignition and use remote to disarm. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy555 Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 If the battery is disconnected you can remove the key and the alarm should be fine. I've done that several times on mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
