About the Honda Civic
The 1996 Civic sedan came in DX, LX and EX trims, and the EX added a 1.6 liter VTEC engine with 127 horsepower.
Before You Install
Inspect the lower anchors and B-pillar mounts on both sides.
Good to Know
Hardware is included.
End release buckles are used on both belts.
Seatbelt Planet makes the pair to order in your color.
Many owners choose gray or black webbing for these cars.
The rear outer pair and rear center belt for the same sedan are listed separately.
Compare your old belts to the listing photos first.
The EK-generation sedan is one of the most common Hondas still on the road, and front belts that have done twenty-five years of daily commuting are usually frayed along the edges.
Honda's 1996 Civic sedan used a double-wishbone suspension at all four corners, a feature that helped these cars ride and handle well above their class.
In the HX coupe Honda offered a lean-burn VTEC-E engine, but sedan buyers chose between the DX, LX and EX, and all three share the same front belt arrangement.
Ordering both front belts together keeps the shade the same on each side, a detail you notice every time the doors are open.
If one reel works and one does not, it is still worth considering both, since the second one has seen the same years of sun and use.
Gray cloth interiors were the most common choice in these sedans, and a medium gray webbing blends in well.
Owners preparing an EK sedan for resale often refresh the belts because worn webbing is one of the first things buyers notice.
The EX sedan of this generation came with a moonroof, and owners who leave it open in summer often find the front belts faded on the shoulder section.
An EK four-door with a manual transmission was a favorite of budget-minded enthusiasts, and those cars typically have the most worn driver restraints from spirited daily use.
Owners of 1996-1999 Civic four-doors who replace the front pair often add the rear outer kit too.
