Reviving the seatbelt clips...

[dablk]

Found plenty of posts on the belts themselves and did a great job using the crock clips/washing liquid in a bucket method.

however any advice on restoring some colour to the red push to release part of the clips? Is it the same stuff as the grill/scuttle restorers?

cheers

Seeing as you're touching it a lot I'd say the only thing with a chance of restoring it is a semi-permanent sealant such as Gtechniq C4 / similar.

I found mine were just covered in grime and makeup. You can clean most of it off.

Mine have faded

Being red, its likely to be permanently faded, but something like C4 may make it a little darker.

To be fair I have tried C4 on the red belt button but cant say it done very much. I wonder if you can replace just the red part, if so surely cheap

Unfortunately Chris being red plastic there is only so much a semi permanent or permanent trim restore will do.

Often its just a case of replacing that part thats faded

I'm not sure it's possible, probably a seats out job

Heat gun works on faded grey bumpers, might work on faded red too.

I wonder about painting them.

Be a pig to do, and they don't like coming apart.

Thanks for the replies all,

This has always bugged me on every car I've had! Sadly it is a new part jobby.
