Fitment Notes
Listed for either front seat of 1982-1987 Porsche 944 models.

Why New Belts Matter
The driver's strap usually wears first, so one belt often solves it.
Keeping Them Like New
Keep the buckle clean and let the reel take up the strap slowly.
About the Single Belt for the 944
The 944 was praised for its near-even weight distribution, achieved with a rear-mounted transaxle, and it remains an affordable way to enjoy a Porsche.
Pre-Install Checklist
Expect to supply your own anchor bolts with this belt. Check the retractor mount on the side you are replacing.
Good to Know
One belt.
Note the color you choose so a future second belt will match.
Retractors keep the strap tidy and comfortable.
End release buckles are easy to use with one hand.
A fresh driver's belt makes a big difference in a car used regularly.
The driver's belt in a 944 usually wears out first, and this single belt replaces it with a fresh retractable belt.
On the 944, the end-release button sits right at hand.
Retractors keep the strap tidy against the pillar.
Write down the shade so a future twin matches.
The 944 remains one of the most affordable ways to enjoy a classic Porsche.
The 944 cabin is often lined in tan, black or burgundy, and webbing in a matching shade keeps the interior looking right. If the passenger belt is still in good condition, compare its color under daylight before choosing.
Because only one belt is included, this listing is a good choice when a single reel has failed or one strap has been damaged.
Seatbelt Planet lists the belt for 1982-1987 cars. In the US, the 944 first went on sale for model year 1983.
Retracting belts need clean, dry reels, so keep drinks and food away from the belt slots.
The 944 was produced in large numbers, and many cars on the road today have covered high mileage. Driver's belts in these cars often have frayed edges or slow reels after decades of use.
A fresh belt fixes both problems, and it is a quick way to make the cabin feel better without replacing the whole set.
Seatbelt Planet also lists a front pair and a rear kit for the same years.
The 944 driver's seat is set low, so the belt anchor is close to the floor; keep that area clean.
A single 944 front belt is also handy as a spare when a car is being restored in stages over several seasons.
