Product Description
1994-1997 Ford Thunderbird, Driver or Passenger Seat Belt Pair
- Driver and passenger front seats
- Three-point retractable lap and shoulder belts
- End release buckles
- Hardware included
Both front seats of a 1994-1997 Thunderbird get new three-point retractable belts with end release buckles in this Seatbelt Planet pair. Seatbelt Planet sells it under the same name as its single belt, so we added the word Pair to our listing.
Vehicle Fit
For the driver and passenger front seats of the 1994-1997 Ford Thunderbird coupe, the final rear-drive generation.
Choosing a Color
The menu lists 52 webbing tones for both straps.
Why Upgrade?
Thunderbird front restraints reach a long way back to pillars set behind long coupe doors, and after three decades both reels usually feel tired.
Maintenance
Wipe each Thunderbird strap with a mild soapy cloth, then leave both pulled out to dry.
About the Ford Thunderbird
Ford's 1994 refresh gave the Thunderbird a new nose, new taillights, a redesigned dashboard and an available 4.6 liter overhead-cam V8.
Pre-Install Checklist
Inspect the driver and passenger pillar anchors plus both floor bolts.
Good to Know
Mounting hardware comes in the box.
Owners of Super Coupe models built through 1995 use the same front belt layout as the LX.
Ordering the pair instead of two singles keeps both sides from the same production run.
Opal gray, graphite and saddle cabins were common, and the menu has close shades.
Late rear-drive Thunderbirds are gaining collector attention, and matched new belts help a car present well.
Call 574-226-6676 if you want to compare the pair with your originals.
Thunderbird owners who drive their coupes to cruise nights often notice the passenger strap has faded more than the driver's, because it sat in the sun on the curb side for years.
The tenth-generation Thunderbird shared its MN12 platform with the Mercury Cougar, which gave it independent rear suspension unusual for an American coupe of its time.
When a Thunderbird belt stalls halfway back into the pillar, the loose webbing drops into the door opening and gets shut in the door, flattening and fraying the edge.
Seatbelt Planet stitches both Thunderbird front straps after you pick a single webbing shade, so they arrive as a true matched pair.
Lorain, Ohio built these coupes until Thunderbird production paused after 1997, making the 1994-1997 cars the last of the long rear-drive line.
A fresh front pair is a natural companion to new carpet or reupholstered seats in a late Thunderbird.
Super Coupe owners who pushed their supercharged 3.8 liter V6 cars hard on back roads often wore the driver strap where it crosses the bolster, while the passenger side stayed cleaner, and a matched Thunderbird pair evens that out.
Thunderbird LX coupes with the optional 4.6 liter V8 were quiet highway cruisers, and both front belts in those cars usually show sun fade on the shoulder portion near the B-pillar trim.
