Where It Fits
Listed for 1967-1973 Chevrolet Caprices, rear center.
Color Options
Choose among 52 shades, of which 13 are premium. Most owners match the rear outboard belts.
Why Replace Old Belts?
The rear center belt is one of the parts most often missing from older Caprices, removed during upholstery work or never reinstalled after a seat repair.
Care Tips
When nobody sits in the middle, leave both ends on top of the cushion where they are easy to grab.
About the Chevrolet Caprice
With full benches front and rear, the Caprice was a six-passenger car, and the rear center belt was part of the factory layout.
Before You Install
Lift the rear cushion and locate the two center anchor points in the floor. Clean them before installation.
Good to Know
Add the rear outboard lap belts.
Original style suits a stock look.
Because it is a fixed lap belt, the middle passenger should adjust it snug across the hips each time.
Add the outboard rear straps to redo the entire back bench.
With this fitted, three people can ride in back properly belted.
Caprice owners who use their cars for family outings or weddings often want all three rear belts working, and this center belt fills the most common gap.
Inspect the floor near the center anchors for rust before installing, since water often collects there in cars with leaking rear windows.
The halves should be long enough to reach comfortably across a passenger's hips. Check before final tightening.
A push button latch in plain metal on the center belt matches the outboard rear belts.
With no reel inside, only the webbing and latch can ever wear.
Caprice sedans, hardtops and coupes all used a full rear bench with a middle seat.
Seatbelt Planet's rear outboard lap belts for these Caprices come in the same webbing choices, so all three rear belts can match.
Center belts are among the cheapest parts in a restoration, but they make a noticeable difference.
Because the center position sits right on the driveshaft tunnel hump, check that both anchor halves reach the cushion gap cleanly once the bench is reinstalled; trim any loose seat fabric that might pinch the strap when you tighten everything down later.
Middle passengers in a Caprice straddle a modest tunnel, and kids especially benefit from a working strap in that spot on family road trips.
