Product Description
It is a small annoyance that happens in a lot of older cars: you unbuckle, and the seat belt tongue slides all the way down the webbing to the floor or the door sill. The culprit is a broken or missing stop button, the little plastic button on the webbing that holds the tongue in place. The Seatbelt Planet Stop Button set is a quick, inexpensive fix.
What It Does
A stop button keeps the latch plate (tongue) at a convenient height on the webbing, so it is easy to reach when you buckle up. Without it, you end up fishing for the tongue between the seat and the door every time you get in. Seatbelt Planet describes these as:
- Replacement for a broken existing tongue stopper
- Keeps the tongue from falling to the floor
- Male and female halves that lock in place on the seat belt webbing
- Installs in seconds
- Set of 2, for driver and passenger 3-point retractable seat belts
- Available in Black or Tan
Choose a Color
The Color menu offers Black or Tan. Black blends in with most dark belts and interiors, while tan suits lighter belts and interiors in shades of beige, camel or brown. Seatbelt Planet recommends replacing both the driver and passenger buttons at the same time so they match.
How to Install
Installation takes only a moment. Pull the belt out to find the right position for the tongue. Press the male half of the button through the webbing at that spot, then press the female half on from the back side until the two halves lock together. Many people find it helpful to squeeze the two halves together firmly with pliers to make sure they are fully seated. Check that the tongue stops where you want it and that the webbing still retracts smoothly.
Where to Position It
Place the button so the tongue rests at a comfortable reach when the belt is retracted, usually around shoulder height or just below. Avoid positioning it where it will catch in the retractor or the upper guide loop. If the original button left a mark on the webbing, that is often a good guide for placement.
Ordering
Each set includes two buttons. Use the quantity menu to order up to four sets, which is useful if you are fixing more than one vehicle or want spares.
Why It Matters
A tongue that is easy to reach encourages everyone to buckle up, and it stops the metal latch plate from banging against door sills and scratching trim. It is one of the simplest ways to make an older car's seat belts feel like new again.
Stop buttons are designed for 3-point retractable belts. If you have a different type of belt and are unsure whether these will work, contact us before ordering.
