The Seatbelt Planet 1974-1979 Mercury Cougar XR-7, Driver or Passenger Seat Belt, sold by Vintage Car Radio, offers a single-position solution for owners who need to replace only one front belt in these personal-luxury coupes.
By the mid-to-late 1970s the Cougar XR-7 had settled into a clear role as a comfortable, stylish grand tourer. The emphasis was on a smooth ride, a well-appointed cabin and a relaxed driving position suited to highway miles. Many of these cars covered significant
distance in period, and the driver’s belt in particular often shows the heaviest wear today. In other cases a restoration or interior refresh leaves one side needing attention while the other remains serviceable. A full matched pair is not always required.
This Seatbelt Planet product is a single 3-point lap-and-shoulder belt configured for either the driver or passenger position in the 1974-1979 Cougar XR-7. The webbing is dense, UV-stable polyester that holds its strength and colour over time, available in
shades that align with common interior colours from the period. The buckle is a solid metal unit with a chrome finish and a clear, positive latching action. Matching hardware allows the belt to sit cleanly in the cabin.
The belt is manufactured to meet the performance requirements of FMVSS 209 for tensile strength, controlled elongation, abrasion resistance and buckle function. The adjustment range accommodates different occupants while preserving the more upright, comfort-oriented seating position of these cars.
Installation is designed to work with the existing mounting points. All necessary fasteners are included. In most cases only limited preparation is required. Important: torque values and the assembly sequence must be taken exclusively from the instructions supplied with the kit. Correct tightening is essential for the system to perform as designed.
Owners who only need to address one side gain a practical, cost-effective improvement. The selected seat receives modern three-point protection without forcing a complete front-seat replacement, and the car’s personal-luxury character remains unchanged.
Vintage Car Radio supplies this Seatbelt Planet belt with the correct hardware and guidance, keeping the installation process clear for both professional workshops and experienced owners.
The result is a focused, low-disruption update that restores proper restraint exactly where it is needed. The Cougar XR-7 keeps its mid-1970s style and comfort; the chosen front seat is simply brought back to a reliable standard. Order from Vintage Car Radio
and equip the seat that requires attention with a restraint solution matched to the car’s refined nature.
