1997 Ford Econoline 12 passenger van- "clubwagon"
Coworker says that two seatbelts need replacing- was quoted almost $500 and says that they don't make seatbelts for it any more (needs the extra long ones on the passenger side that come from waaaaaaay behind the seat- where the side double doors open- not sure exactly which seating positions but can find out).
I had seatbelt issues after extended car seat install in my Honda Accord years ago and they replaced my seatbelt free and told me that "seatbelts have lifetime warranty" because they are such a standard, basic safety issue. Was this just a Honda thing? Was that bad info? Does ford offer the same type thing?
He has 7 kids and isn't wanting to shell out the $ for the belts (going to sell the van eventually)- they don't need them if their family rides, but if they pick up any extra passengers will need the seatbelts to work. Trying to do some research, but knew you guys were credible and figured someone would enjoy hunting down some valid info to pass along. Wanting to clarify for my own knowledge as well. Thanks.
