When to replace seat belts?

Car has never been in an accident but before we owned it there were many spills... and now that we do have it, there have been many more.

ETA: it's a 2000 (or 2001?) Grand Marquis

Don't have a shot of the middle lap belt, but the majority of it (with the exception of the end of the tail--so not the part in use) is not stained at all. A little stiff.

Passenger side isn't as bad as the driver's side. Passenger side has one stain along the lap portion. I will try to get a shot w/o a car seat soon.

I moved the seat to the passenger side because the driver's side is soooo much worse and the part that would go across my chest is very stiff. Now, I do sit back there occasionally. If we can't fix the A/C I at least want to see if this needs replaced by summer b/c this is the only back window that opens.

The blue was melted M&M's. The coke was already there.

Is there anything I can clean it with until then? I just feel so....... ICK! LOL. We detail the rest of the car once a week ($5 car wash w/ unlimited vacuum, and the kids LOVE it) but I've never done it w/o them so no time to do the belts or back seat bights.

Not sure how to clean it, but I wouldn't worry about replacing.

Thanks. The seat belt thingy on that belt is also on backwards and the belt is so stiff I can't slide it back around correctly, so my belt is twisted. :rolleyes: Maybe a good cleaning... off to google :)
