Buick LeSabre Seat Belts and Parts

Buick first offered the LeSabre in 1959 and produced the full-size car until 2005. Over time you may need to replace worn out or broken seat belts and related parts. Luckily, you can find a large selection of Buick LeSabre seat belts and parts to keep your belts in working order.

The first Buick LeSabre did not have a seat belt option. Buick LeSabre car engineers concentrated on safety measures like shatter-proof windows. The next few years would see many changes.

• The Buick LeSabre offered an optional seat belt in 1960.
• Buick began installing lap seat belts in every vehicle in 1967.
• Buick installed roof belts that supplied a shoulder harness in their 1968 models.
• By 1970, Buick began installing the three-point belt in the front seats of its products.
• In 1985, in response to various new safety laws, the Buick LeSabre came equipped with three-point seat belts for all seats.

The main difference between the two types of safety belts is the anchor points. The two-point seat belt system may come in two types.

• The lap belt type extends over the waist and buckles on either side.
• The shoulder belt, like the roof-belt used in the Buick LeSabre in 1968, traverses diagonally crossing the shoulder and chest.
• The three-point seat belt is a combination of the lap and shoulder belt that provides a “Y” shape protection to equalize the pressure on a body across the chest, lap and shoulders in the event of a sudden stop or accident.

The three-point seat belt is made up of five integral parts.

• The strap is a webbing material consisting of polyester with high tensile strength. The webbing is pulled around the occupant and automatically tightened.
• Seat belt tongues are attached to the webbing. The tongue slips into the buckle.
• Seat belt buckles hold the tongue firmly in place.
• The retractor is a winding mechanism that pulls the straps tight over an occupant’s body.
• The pillar loop is the piece above the shoulder of the occupant that guides the webbing parts into place.

There are several reasons to repair or replace Buick LeSabre parts in the seat belt system.

• If you notice your retractor refusing to lock when quick pressure is applied.
• If the webbing material is frayed at any point, or the integrity of the material is compromised.
• When you discover difficulty in locking or unlocking the tongue and buckle.
