OEM Seatbelt Replacement?

Well, the drivers seat belt has decided to stop working on me and I need a new one. I bought what I thought was a direct replacement, but it turns out to be a universal fit belt. It works, but I am unsure how safe it is and it frequently gets stuck and I have to tweak the belt out (I feel very unsafe). So, I am searching for a Corolla specific belt I can buy online and have it here ASAP.

This is the generic belt to stay away from (ebay seller ID carpartswholesale):

Yea, I just found car-parts.com and that rocks...

I'd return this ghetto seatbelt, but its already been installed and mangled by me. I'll probably just cut it and toss it. Cheers!

Let's hear it for sagging seatbelts. *Rolls eyes* 1sttoyotaparts.com only has the driver's side unit, although they also do sell the weatherstripping, which is starting to go as well.

Mine used to sag a bit, and get caught in the door too. Eventually it gave up on me, but it worked for a while.

Just found one at a junkyard and I'll order it today.

Hope you learned your lesson, never cheap out on something as important as seatbelts.

Mine have about no retracting capability left, I have to grab and force-feed them up before they'll slowly slowly slowly consent to retract, if the weather's not too chilly. It's pretty bad and obviously replacement time based on age, safety, and (theoretically) SCCA regs.
