Product Description
The 1982-87 Buick Grand National is a legend, especially the black turbocharged cars of 1986-87. Owners keep these cars close to original, and worn front belts are one of the first things that make an interior look tired. This Seatbelt Planet set replaces the driver and passenger front belts in a Grand National, for bucket or bench seat cars.

These replace the factory front lap and shoulder belts. Seatbelt Planet's current listings for 1982-87 Buick driver and passenger kits describe retractable 3-point belts with all-metal push button buckles.
Metal Push Button Buckle
This listing uses Metal Push Button buckles, a sturdy and familiar design that suits the Grand National's interior. Press the button and the tongue releases. Metal construction holds up to the daily use these cars often still see.
Colors for a Grand National
Most Grand Nationals have dark grey or black interiors, so Black, Charcoal and Grey are the natural choices. Grey and Silver webbing come with color-matched plastic components, which gives a factory-like finish. If your car has a different interior, the menu offers 30 colors in total, including Maroon, Red Wine, Navy and Tan, all with matched components.
Bucket or Bench
The listing title covers bucket and bench seat cars, and the text notes the set is easy to install for bucket seat applications. If your Grand National has a front bench and you need a middle belt too, ask us about the three-belt bench set.
Why New Belts Matter
Many Grand Nationals are now collector cars, but they are also fast, and plenty are driven hard. Belts that retract smoothly and lock reliably are essential. New webbing also removes the fading and fraying that stand out in an otherwise clean interior, which matters at shows and when selling.
Installation Tips
These belts are designed to replace the factory belts in a 1982-87 Buick Grand National, so in most cases they mount at the original anchor points. Photograph the old belts before removing them and note how each end is routed. Inspect the anchors for corrosion and clean the threads. The listing does not state that mounting hardware is included, so reuse the original bolts if they are in good condition or replace them with proper seat belt hardware. Keep the webbing flat, tighten every bolt securely and test each retractor and buckle before driving. If you would rather not do the job yourself, a qualified shop can install the belts.
