How do you unstick a seat belt on a 1995 Oldsmobile Silhouette?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I did this yesterday on my 1997 Oldsmobile Silhouette. My seat belt was twisted on the seat belt mechanism on the passenger side of the vehicle so I did the following. Open front passenger door and sliding door. Peel back the seal around the door frame sufficient to expose the trim that covers the seat belt mechanism. Remove the trim piece that is on the passenger side floor. (This would be the piece that the door covers when the door is closed.) Using a slotted prybar (like a screwdriver with a forked tounge), I pried the body mount fasteners of the floor trim away from the body. I removed the floor trim on the passenger side and raised it just enough on the sliding door side to be able to free the seat belt trim covering. I then peeled back the trim that covers the seat belt mechanism. This requires a little maneuvering as there are body tabs that go under the trim piece at the top. Once the seat belt mechanism trim was released, I had access to the seat belt device. The seat belt is held in by one bolt that has a Star slot. I used a star slot driver and a 3/8" ratchet with a small extension to access that bolt. I needed a breaker bar with a good amount of force to free the bolt. Once freed, I was able to ratchet it out. Once the bolt was removed, the mechanism could be unhooked from the body of the van. Using a screwdriver I was able to hold back the release latch and pull the strap until I reached the point where the belt had been crossed. I straightened out the belt and returned the mechanism to the body of the van and then installed the star bolt. I reassembled the trim and restored the door seals to their former position.

Sort of. You can retrofit a tether bracket, but not the lower anchors. See: http://www.saferidenews.com/pdfs/new_page_pdf/TM_LATCH_update702.pdf It's part number 73709-12010 for the tether bracket - they run about $12. The old part was 04731-22012 and includes the belt tightener "I" but no tether bracket.

There are people who have retrofitted the lower anchors by drilling holes and mounting brackets from other vehicles, including late 90's model Honda Civics. I wouldn't personally recommend that.

How many pounds does a child have to beable not to sit in a child safety seat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the state, here in Massachusetts: "Massachusetts state law requires that all children under age 8 and less than 57 inches tall be properly fastened and secured in a federally approved car seat or booster seat, according to the manufacturer's instructions. Children who have reached age 8 but who are not yet 4'9" tall are still affected by this law and should still be in an appropriate child restraint. Children who are old enough or tall enough to be out of a child restraint should use a vehicle seat belt."

What direction should a child car seat face?

Asked by Wiki User

This would depend on the age of your child.

All children should ride rear-facing in back seats until they are 2 years of age or until they reach the height and weight limit of their child restraints. When children reach the height and weight limits of their infant seats, they should be moved to convertible seats, but should continue to ride rear-facing for as long as possible.

However, when your child reaches the rear-facing height and weight limit of their child restraint, they should be turned forward-facing in a convertible or another forward-facing child restraint.
