Replacement seat belts

Anybody know a good source for replacement belt assemblies? My car is a '99 Z28 t-top and the driver's belt assembly is going to pot. It doesn't retract well and I've recently broken the plastic cover on the the sliding section of the belt latch.

Junk yards can be a good place, and relatively cheap. Your local GM dealership, maybe even a parts store.

Thanks and I agree, but I was hoping that some reputable after-market company might be a sponsor here.

aww man... the seatbelts are a real bitch to get out... i'd send a PM to a few of the sponsors here to see if they carry them or if they could recommend someone who does...

Hell, I'm used to that. I never seem to need to replace anything that is easy.

Remove the panel and look at the assembly. Could just be some junk caught up in there.

True, but it still works. The problem is that the plastic on the slider was broken off and I'm a bit worried about the safety of it staying correct on an impact. That was because the seat belt didn't retract right and I closed the door on it! &^%$#*!!!!!
