Default Shoulder belt removal '75 convertible

Anybody out there have any idea how to get the end of the shoulder belt out thru the seat back ???? That hole is just too small.
TIA

I had good luck when I flipped it up side down, you may have to take the back plate off.

Have you taken the plastic retainer off?

I'll be doing the same job in a couple weeks....

Just exactly how do you get the plastic retainer off without destroying it?

Been wondering about this since last fall....

Big mug of hot water! Microwave a mug of water for 2 minutes. Wear a glove on one hand. Stick the buckle and plastic retainer into the water for 30 seconds, then remove and pull the retainer off with the gloved hand. Now, wasn't that easy?

Now, please don't ask how to put it back on.....

This is how it's done, both taking off and putting on.
