Color Choices
There are 52 colors available, thirteen of them premium. Choose a shade that complements the Marquis interior.
Time for New Belts?
Front occupants in a heavy full-size car benefit from shoulder restraint, and a fresh kit replaces belts that may have been weakened by decades of sun.
Caring for Your Belts
Clean the straps with lukewarm water and gentle soap, and check that the buckles latch firmly each time.
About the Mercury Marquis Front Seat
Mercury positioned the Marquis between Ford's LTD and the Lincoln Continental, giving buyers a quieter, more formal full-size car. Two-door hardtops, four-door sedans and the Colony Park wagon all carried the name.
Before You Install
Confirm that your car has sound upper and floor anchor locations for both sides before ordering.
Good to Know
Kit includes driver and passenger belts.
Both belts are made from the same webbing lot.
The metal buckles suit the chrome trim of a seventies Mercury interior.
Upgrading front belts is one of the most practical improvements for a car you drive regularly.
Pair the kit with a center belt for a full front bench.
Call 574-226-6676 with any fitment questions.
A Marquis weighs well over two tons, so the people up front gain the most from restraint across the torso as well as the lap. A lap and shoulder kit is a practical step for an owner who drives the car regularly.
Both Type 2A belts carry FMVSS 209 and 302 ratings and come off one roll, so left and right match.
Before ordering, look over each front seat area for the floor anchors and the upper mounting location for the shoulder portion, and clean the threads so the bolts start easily.
If you are not sure whether your car is set up for this kit, our team can help you compare it with the other Marquis listings, including the three-point driver and passenger kit and the separate center belt.
A fresh pair of belts with bright metal buckles also suits the formal, chrome-heavy look of a seventies Mercury dashboard.
