- Convertible front seats
- Retractable three-point belts
- Metal squeeze-button buckles

The Fox-body Mustang convertible is one of the most popular drop-tops of the eighties. Seatbelt Planet's kit gives the driver and passenger reel-backed lap and shoulder belts with metal squeeze-button buckles. Note that hardware is not included.
Fitment Notes
The listing covers both front seats of Mustang convertibles in the 1979-1989 range. Ford reintroduced the convertible for 1983, so it applies to 1983-1989 cars.
Available Colors
Pick from 52 colors, 13 premium.
Why New Belts Matter
Sun and weather are hard on convertible belts. A new pair restores them.
Keeping Them Like New
Raise the top or use a cover outdoors, and clean the webbing with mild soap.
About the Fox-Body Mustang Convertible
The Fox platform Mustang debuted for 1979, and the convertible returned in 1983 after a decade away.
Pre-Install Checklist
Reuse sound original hardware or source new bolts, since hardware is not included.
Good to Know
Hardware is not included.
Both belts are cut from one dye lot.
Reels keep the Fox ragtop's webbing still at speed.
Fox-body convertibles are rising in value.
Matching belts help the cabin look finished.
Seatbelt Planet rates the belts to FMVSS 209 and 302 and sews both from one roll of webbing.
Because hardware is not part of this kit, plan to reuse sound original bolts or source new ones before the belts go in. Inspect the threads and the anchor points carefully.
Fox-body convertibles were offered in LX and GT trim, and the GT with the 5.0 V8 has become one of the most collectible Mustangs of the eighties. A fresh pair of belts suits either version.
Convertible interiors take a beating from sun and weather, so faded, stiff belts are common. New webbing in a color that matches the seats makes the cabin look much fresher with the top down.
Although Seatbelt Planet lists the kit as 1979-1989, Ford did not build a factory Mustang convertible until 1983, so these belts are intended for 1983-1989 cars.
Choose a webbing color that complements the upholstery and carpet.
Retractors keep the belts tidy against the seats when nobody is riding.
Fox-body Mustangs are popular with enthusiasts of every age, and a well-kept convertible always draws a crowd at shows.
Matching belts are a simple detail that helps a convertible look finished from every angle.
Owners of 1987-1993 Mustangs should note that this listing ends at 1989.
Five-liter GT convertibles and four-cylinder LX ragtops both use this kit for the front seats.
Top-down drives are better with fresh belts.
Fox ragtops are now a recognized modern classic car.
