Z500 seat belts rubbing seats.
« on: September 26, 2019, 06:39:06 PM »
I was getting my z500 ready to ride this weekend and noticed the seat belt latches had been rubbing my seats and the vinyl has torn on the driver's seat about 1 inch and the passengers was showing signs of tearing also. Anyone experience this? Seems I need to remove the plastic trim cover and either loosen the mounting bolts and reposition or just bend the brackets a  little.

I was getting some of that with the new belts and I just put a small strip of black duct tape where it was rubbing. Don't recall if the OE buckles were rubbing...probably were.

I've used duct tape wherever I find wear marks and there are a few on a Z8.  Love me some duct tape.  :)

We removed both latches and bent the mounting bases just over 90 degrees from vertical and that seemed to correct the issue. I stitched up the cut on the driver's seat and put a clear patch for vinyl repair over the areas. After  our ride yesterday there didn't appear to be any further rubbing...One less thing to deal with on this machine ugh!
