| 883316 | 2010-05-09 01:59:00 | I need a rear [right] seatbelt replacement for my 1987 AE82 Corolla liftback (looks the same as this car: commons.wikimedia.org(AE82)_CSX_Seca_liftback_01.jp g) Question is, would rear seatbelts from other AE82 cars fit? I am aware that there are a number of different body styles in the AE82 series, and I'm not sure if the newer ones/different body styles have compatibility between rear seatbelts. Would an AE92 liftback rear seatbelt fit? (www.trademe.co.nz) Reason I ask is because no wreckers in christchurch seem to have AE82 parts anymore - too old apparently. Want to keep my car on the road though as it has low KM's... Ideas anyone..? |

| 883317 | 2010-05-09 02:06:00 | Failing any results for second hand one's, there is a very good seatbelt outfit place in Brougham Street on the north side between the AA and Gasson. Of course, it will cost more unless you know how to fit it yourself of course. | PinoyKiw (9675) | ||
| 883318 | 2010-05-09 02:09:00 | All wreckers can log into a national database of parts though so there should be one around. In Nelson there is a place that fits replacement seatbelts so I would think there would be in Christchurch to. So long as any replacement you find has the same fittings I don't see why it shouldn't work | gary67 (56) | ||
| 883319 | 2010-05-09 02:31:00 | Question is how do I know which ones have the same fittings? Would AE92 ones work...? | forrest44 (754) | ||
| 883320 | 2010-05-09 02:49:00 | One way I use to find out for parts on the internet is by cross referencing by Google searchers for pdf's, alibaba com, and amazon, and manufacture's site. The aim is to find reference no's (and years) and to check if they are compatible with your 1987. So try search terms as: seat belt pdf, Toyota AE83 pdf, seat belt alibaba (a massive Asian supply/export site), and with Amazon, etc. I have found plenty of compatible car parts - mainly in pdf files online. May take time though. I'm picking your belt and it's years are online - but not easy to find. The other pain, is that global online suppliers may use slightly different terms (often for the USA market) than "seat belt" (e.g. rear lap belt, or restraining belt, etc). I did a search for a distributor part - took two hours to search (found on Amazon eventually - but the generic name was different to NZ (called cam sensor here - but in parts of US called a "induction pick up" - but saved about 150 dollars) |

| 883321 | 2010-05-09 03:14:00 | Not a good idea to reuse seatbelts as they may have been damaged in the accident that put that vehicle in the wreckers yard, how would you know, hmm? Are you really willing to trust your family, friends and relations lives to a pre-f**ked belt? :horrified :crying Spend $100 and get a new one! |

So does sons girlfriend. The wreckers in West AUckland have millions of parts for them. Not that it matters, get any seatbelt, and I'd get a new one. |

| 883324 | 2010-05-09 07:37:00 | Use a rope. Or just take the part you need into a wrecker and say you need another one. Make sure that if your going second hand theres no fraying or marks on the belt. And id say something like seatbelts would be fairly interchangable |
