Seatbelt retainer rubber nipple
So for those of us with the Ultima seats, I've got a question for you. Any idea where I can find that little plastic/rubber piece that sits between the two pieces of the seatbelt holder that is attached to the headrest?
I'll upload a picture of what I'm talking about later so it will make sense. My piece disappered and will most likely never be found again.

Re: Seatbelt retainer rubber nipple
I believe that is simply called a seatbelt guide, and they're specific to the type of seat. You can usually find them on eBay. I was able to get a new one for my '02 at the dealer a few years ago (broke it while accidentally leaning on it to shoehorn myself out of my car), but they were all the same for 98-02 Firebirds (except convertible), so that was a bit easier.
Are they supposed to be broken/split like that on 3rd gen Ultima seats though? I figured both of mine were broken since the only factory split ones for 4th gens are for convertibles. I bought a set of used cloth Ultima seats for my 91, and was going to glue mine back together, unless of course they're SUPPOSED to be split...

Re: Seatbelt retainer rubber nipple
I know the entire piece is called the guide, but what I'm saying is they're supposed to be split, but the rubber piece which I'm speaking of is what holds it together. It's like a half inch rubber nipple that sits between the two pieces. I'm wondering how to go about finding one. Thanks for all your help!

Ah, yeah I didn't even know that part was supposed to be there -- both my seats look just like yours. Sounds like I need a pair of nipples as well then
