Product Description
1997-2000 Dodge Dakota, Extended Cab, Driver or Passenger, Bench Seat Belt
- One front outboard bench seat
- Three-point retractable belt
- End release buckle
- Will not fit buckets
When just one outer bench belt in a 1997-2000 Dakota Club Cab is tired, Seatbelt Planet's single replacement reels in, anchors at three points and latches with an end release buckle. Bolts are included.
Vehicle Fit
For one outer front bench place, left or right, in a second-generation Dakota Club Cab, 1997-2000. Buckets need a different belt.
Choosing a Color
The belt is offered in 52 colors.
Why Upgrade?
Usually it is the left-side belt that frays first from years of commuting.
Maintenance
Clean the strap with mild soap and dry it fully extended.
About the Dodge Dakota
Club Cab Dakotas of this generation were sold alongside the regular cab and, from 2000, the four-door Quad Cab.
Pre-Install Checklist
Look over the floor bolt and the pillar bolt for that side before ordering.
Good to Know
Hardware comes with it.
Match the color to the other front belt.
Compare the old belt with the new one first.
Seatbelt Planet makes it to order.
Test the belt several times after fitting.
The pair and three-belt kits are listed for the same truck.
A worn reel that never locks should be replaced, not cleaned.
Many owners refresh one side now and the other later.
A single outboard bench belt is the right order for a Club Cab where only one side has worn out.
Seatbelt Planet notes this belt will not fit bucket seats.
Many second-generation Club Cabs were bought as commuter trucks, so the driver side usually wears first.
If the passenger side is still in good shape, matching its color keeps the bench consistent.
A pair kit and a three-belt kit for the same bench are also listed if you decide to do more.
Older webbing can stiffen and curl at the edges, which makes it harder to retract.
The Club Cab name has been a Dodge tradition since the 1970s, and the second-generation Dakota carried it on.
Seatbelt Planet builds the belt in your chosen shade.
Tug the new belt after fitting to confirm the reel locks.
A fresh outboard belt makes a used Club Cab feel more cared for.
Gray and black are the most common webbing choices for these trucks.
One-side orders are especially common on Club Cabs used by a single commuter, where the passenger belt has barely been touched.
Comparing the latch end of your old outer bench belt to the photo on the listing helps confirm you have the right part.
The second-generation Club Cab's bench sits farther forward than the rear jump seats, so its outer belts mount on the B-pillar.
If you later decide to replace the second side, the same listing covers it.
Second-generation Dakotas share many interior parts with the Durango, but these belts are listed for the Dakota Club Cab only.
