According to recall information, this is the new design of the front lap belt guide.
It appears so far that only my car has it. Anyone else's??

Initially I thought that mine is the original "defective" design, however according to alldata , this is what should be installed.

I've seen those on a car at the junkyard, they looked different than mine so I didnt get them.

They were even the right color too...
guess I know where to go back to get the new seat belt guide.

Is this for a 1st gen or 2nd? My 2nd gen camry doesn't look like that. It bolts onto the chassis, not the seat. Does it need replacing immediately if it;s not like that? Both driver and passenger?

These are for second gen. US cars with automatic seat belts

Automatic seat belts? What do you mean by that?

And for US only? Fewh.

Trust me, you DON'T want the auto seatbelts... They are quite annoying.

Then again, I wonder what the reason for the change/upgrade is... I've been through one horrible accident in a gen2 and survived just fine, and I don't see how changing a bit of plastic there would have changed anything.

The main reason for this to make the belt buckle easier to grab [the ergonomic issue]
