Is that on the Wesco belts?

The Wesco belts have something similar. They also have a plastic sleeve to cover that part up.

I found this tip on YouTube. Cobalt coupe seatbelt guides (2005 to 2010) fit the Procor seats as long as you switch sides and drill an extra hole. They're out of production and I didn't want to fork out $110 for a set on eBay. I picked these up at my local pull-a-part for about $10. I'll need to paint them. Hopefully the belt won't wear off all the paint over time. For now they work great.

Here's a quick finished picture.

Trying to solve a window rattle issue on my front side window today. Found a nice pile of trash in the bottom of the door. Also it appears that I'm missing this hardware. I'm also missing the rear most one as well. Not sure how The glass still moves correctly with 2 out of 3 missing. The bottom one feels like it has a large washer behind it, but the manual doesn't appear to show that. Can anybody point me to the correct replacement hardware? I think I've found reproduction nuts, but not the bolts.

This is what the one just below it looks like once removed.

And I thought restoring my car was a nightmare. The engine swap was grate on your car and liked the detail you showed us. Think I will stick with my 383-motor due to a lot less work. Your swap is not for the faint of heart. Grate job and have fun with it.

I knew that one of my HVAC vacuum ports was broken, but I was hoping it would work anyways. It didn't. So out it came for repair. I used a pop rivet barrel as many others. It was a tad shorter, but it worked.

One of my complaints of the dash insert I have is how the HVAC control connects. It only has the left and right screw mount and doesn't support the rear. I added a zip tie to the rear to support the weight and in the process, the mounting boss for one of the sides broke off. I was literally done and I couldn't let well enough alone. I guess it would have broken off eventually, but it's quite a guy punch considering how much contortion is necessary to install it.

I JB welded the boss back on. Right after I started, I realized some gussets were a good idea. So I scrambled some together before my epoxy set and threw it together. Forgive the sloppy work, but it should hold.

Got to do what you got to do.
