Dog ate my seatbelts

Dan Duncan 6 April 2005 03:25:46
 For some reason, my dog decided that both front seatbelts looked
delicious and managed to chew them up in about 20 minutes last night.
(He's never chewed anything before so I'm still wondering why this
happened)

1) Can the rear seatbelts in a 2003 Forester be swapped for the front ones?

2) The local dealer wants about $320 EACH for the part. Does anyone have
a reference where I can get them cheaper? (I don't want seatbelts from
a wrecked car, but new ones for a better price are ok)

3) Labor is listed at 1 hour, which is probably their minimum, so my next
question is: How difficult is the installation?

Thanks for any input.

 My strong recommendation is that you go with dealer installed OEM
belts. Ask a couple of dealers for quotes if it makes you feel
comfortable. No way in hell I'd look to save money on that job.

Seat belt and air bag prices obviously stem from *incredible* liability
associated w/ safety part defects or a faulty install.

 I would contact www.subaruparts.com­. They often have Subaru OEM parts
for a lot less than list price. I use them for my oil filters and other
goodies I've purchased in the past. As far as installation goes, I
installed a new set on an Oldsmobile Ciera and a Chevy Pickup that was a
piece of cake. Whether or not it is the same on a Forester, I wouldn't
have a clue.

 I feel your pain. When my 7 year old dog Daisy was a puppy, she chewed
not 1, not 2, but 3 seatbelts. :-(­

It happened over a few occasions in 2 different cars, and it's a long
story: if anyone is interested, email me and I'll send it to you.

I believe she did it because she was mad at me for leaving her in the
car while I went into the store. Daisy is a weird dog, and I don't think
she likes me very much, but we're kind of like an old bickering couple.

Anyway, I didn't drive the 2 cars much, and have since sold both to
friends. The guy who bought the car with only 1 bad belt swapped the
driver's for the passenger's. He jokes that he doesn't care if the wife
"gets it." Actually, they have 2 cars and seldom use that one on family
trips. It must not have been too hard to swap the belts: my buddies and
I are more handymen than mechanics.

The other car? That guy is too cheap to repair the belts. He hit another
car that spun out on a dark icy freeway. The bags went off and he wasn't
hurt. The car still runs, so now he drives with no safety features, the
way cars were in the old days. Some guys are stupid.

You can even have it installed by a Subaru dealer. Many Subaru
dealers> prepare rally cars and will replace your original belts for better
ones. A> 3 point harness in a Forester. How cool would that be? Better still,> change your Forester for a WRX-STI, to go with the harness... ;-)­

Dude, you cannot be married. A wife (certainly mine) would take one
look at those in the family car and say something that cannot be
printed here.

mean, am I going to need them? LOL
