    You have to remove the entire seat belt assembly. There is no way to just remove the plastic.

    ....well...there is a way....it involves cutting or breaking something.

    Eep. That sucks.

    But it does remind me.. this weekend while I was working on the Maverick I found a twenty crammed under the seat. It was my lucky weekend.

    There will be bolts that go into the side of the seat belt assembly, their behind little round disc's that snap in, I can't remeber if there are 2 or 3?? remove the bolts and the whole thing will come out. Did you cut the seat belt?? as for the rust, thats nothing, scarpe up those pennys and get yourself some rust encapsulator. (you'll need a few more pennys)

    They are also held on with an adhesive double sided tape. You will need to pry on it to get them out.
