Time for New Belts?
Center belts on a Dakota bench often disappear into the seat gap, where they get crushed and stained.
Caring for Your Belts
Pull the center strap out of the cushion gap now and then and clean it with soapy water.
About the Dodge Dakota
A three-across bench was a practical feature in a midsize truck, letting a small crew ride together.
Pre-Install Checklist
Tip the seat back forward and look at the center floor anchors before ordering.
Good to Know
Hardware comes with the belt.
A non-retractable lap belt has no reel to wear out and stays at the length you set.
Match the shade to the outboard belts for an even look across the bench.
Families often seat a child in the middle, so a working center belt matters.
Test the latch several times after fitting.
Many Dakota owners refresh the center belt while replacing the outboard belts, since it is often the most neglected one in the cab.
Keep loose change and grit out of the buckle so it latches cleanly every time.
A small piece like this makes the bench fully usable again for three riders.
Fixed-length center lap belts were standard practice on front benches in midsize trucks of the 1990s.
Because it never winds into a reel, the middle belt on a Dakota bench tends to lie in the seat gap for years, collecting crumbs and grit.
A center belt that has been sat on and crushed may still look whole, yet the buckle can stop latching reliably.
Seatbelt Planet's three-belt kit for the same truck includes this center strap along with both outer belts, if you would rather do the whole bench.
Ranchers and contractors often carried three across in these trucks, so the middle belt in a first-generation Dakota saw more duty than you might expect.
Setting the strap length for the middle rider takes only a moment at the buckle.
Tan, gray and blue were common cloth colors in first-generation Dakotas, and the webbing menu covers each of them.
Owners who carry a child in the middle seat should make sure the latch clicks firmly every time.
Check under the bench for loose carpet or padding that could hide the center anchor points.
A fresh middle strap is a small part that rounds out a full bench refresh.
Many first-generation Club Cabs have racked up well over 200,000 miles, and the middle belt has often never been replaced.
