shoulder guide replacement, need help
I bought a set of 3rd gen seatbelt shoulder guides to replace the broken ones i had on and i can seem to figure out how to get the belt through the damn thing! I unbolted the bottom but it's far too big and the top one i have no clue how to take the top one out. Please Help! I have a 91 camaro RS

Re: shoulder guide replacement, need help
What do you mean by shoulder guide? The plastic ear screwed to the side of the seat that the belt passes through?

Undo the screw!!
The guide has two screws, the first one splits the guide, the second one removes it from the head rest!!
The first screw is what you want, then slide the belt out of the loop!!
It's really simple!!!

Actually, I don't think yours come split, but a fine cut saw through the mounting plate between the two screws will work for you.

with 
I searched out "your" seat belt guides on a "popular internet shopping site" and found a pair of the guides that you are talking about for sale by Hawks ThirdGen Parts, and they cut them off of the seat belts in between the two mounting screws!!
They did a good job also, looked real good!!
P.S. I guess that will teach me to "RTFQ" first, and make sure that I really understand it, before I post a wrong answer!!
