Default I broke the seatbelt plastic rivet thingie

There's a plastic rivet thing that goes through the seatbelt and holds the buckle piece from falling all the way down the belt when it's not in use. I broke one today. Can these be bought/replaced? I'm sure I could rig something up but thought I'd ask. I can't be the first person to break one of these.

Let's hear it. Who broke theirs and what did you do about it?!

Default LOL, did the same thing a few weeks ago.

Yet, I still haven't rigged anything up. It is a PITA to reach all the way at the bottom of the belt to get the clip. I doubt that little piece of plastic is a replaceable part--likely you'd have to get a whole new belt. Let me know what you rig up! :-)

Default I have a plan

I've seen in clothing stores a quick replacement button for men's shirts. It's basically like any other lapel pin with a pin that goes through the clothing and then an anchor for it to sit in. This one has a fake shirt button on it for when you lose a real one. Anyway, I bet it will do the job.
Just push it through the seatbelt where the original one was and stick it into the anchor thing.

That's the plan.

Which location....probly out east somewhere huh and not the one right down the street from me in Midtown? I need to figure out what's causing all the ruckus under my hood--it's pretty loud rattling sound. Sounds like it's coming from the P/S pump area, hope to figure it out this weekend. You go every week?
