Does anyone produce a seat belt guide that has a smaller opening?
I am talking about the plastic device on the upper outer top of the seat.
Mine is on Recaros, but I would think they are all the same. I get tired of the seatbelt
falling out and then me having to fish around for it.

Purchased these and am quite disappointed prior to even trying to install. First of all, they come without any instructions although on the website it is pretty clear. What they do come with is an odd sized allen wrench screw. I believe it is 7/64. The screw does not have a point so it seems that you must drill a hole first. Frankly, for the $75 cost for two including tax it appears that the profit margin on these is at least 50x. No wonder we have a "perceived" inflation issue. At least they could have included the correct allen wrench instead of me hunting around for one of this odd size. The real kicker for anyone considering purchasing this is when I went back to look about returning, it states no returns. Buyer beware.

I think that link is a forum users shop - have you tried contacting them with your feedback ?

Hope it all works out for you :frown:

Price boggles my mind...
At least, the screw price is legit.

Thank you Benny! 👍
One more question, is the part for both seats (left & right) the same?

Yes, reached out to the supplier on Etsy. They got back immediately and mentioned they should supply the Allen key, which is 3 mm.
Originally looked at doing a quick install late at night when nothing seem to fit. Looking at this yesterday it was apparent the supplied part did not line up. Took photographs and forwarded these to the supplier. They immediately responded there was a little panel that had to be pried out from the original holder and they need to supply directions in the future.

Turns out removing the panel required using an awl and hammer blow to remove. Also, a hex key is required to remove screw after small panel is removed.

A YouTube video would have saved much time. Bottom line is the auxiliary holder is installed and works well.

Of course! Would never leave a fellow 5.0 owner hanging. Glad we could figure it out 👍

The parts above in your links do not show pictures of what they actually are? Doing a deep search, it shows that those parts are the standard OEM parts and not Replacements that actually hold the seat belt for easy access. In addition, the prices of these items are off the wall.

Yes correct they are OE S650 parts optioned with Recaro seats. The only images we have is the diagram I posted above but I am sure there are other online photos of the S650 interior like this one

You missed the point that Ford changed this holder for the S650 recaros. :wink:
The S550 holder is different, not so grabby.
