About the Ford Thunderbird

Pre-Install Checklist
Check the pillar mount and floor anchor.
Good to Know
Hardware is included.
Seatbelt Planet makes it to order.
Order two for both front seats.
The 1994-1997 Thunderbird was the final version of the rear-drive coupe before the model took a break after 1997.
The long coupe doors mean the front belt anchors far back, and the strap has to stretch a long way to reach the occupant.
Owners who keep these coupes as weekend cruisers often replace belts during an interior refresh.
Matching both front sides keeps the interior even.
V8 Thunderbirds from these years are becoming collectible, and fresh belts help them present well.
The tenth-generation Thunderbird was built in Lorain, Ohio, and the 1994 refresh brought a new dashboard with dual airbags.
Thunderbird LX and Super Coupe models shared their front belt layout, though the supercharged SC ended after 1995.
A tired Thunderbird reel can let the strap droop into the door opening, where it gets pinched when the door closes.
Thunderbird owners restoring a late coupe often replace front belts alongside new carpet and seat covers.
The 1994-1997 Thunderbird's wide front seats hold two adults comfortably, and the belts see steady use.
A single Thunderbird belt lets owners replace only the worn side.
Late rear-drive Thunderbirds are increasingly popular weekend cars, and fresh belts help them stay presentable.
Thunderbird interiors in these years came in colors like graphite, opal gray and saddle, and the webbing menu has close matches.
Opal gray and graphite Thunderbird cabins pair nicely with a matching gray webbing shade.
Thunderbird Super Coupe buyers often drove hard, wearing the driver strap along its edge.
Seatbelt Planet stitches the Thunderbird front strap once you pick the webbing shade.
Thunderbird LX owners often keep these coupes for highway cruising, and the driver belt wears first.
Pair this single Thunderbird restraint with a second for both front seats.
Late Thunderbird coupe interiors are roomy, and the front belts span a wide seat.
Thunderbird front webbing faded by sun through the long side glass is common in these cars.
The 4.6 liter V8 Thunderbird is a smooth highway car, and fresh belts suit long drives.
Lorain-built Thunderbird coupes from the final rear-drive years deserve a front restraint that rewinds crisply every time the long door swings open.
