DIY - Replace E92 front seat belts

I'm doing a two tone upgrade of my E92 interior and will be documenting the process along the way

This DIY is for replacing the front seat belts on a E92... Once again, hope this helps someone out

The two tone looks dope! where did you get the new seatbelt from? I've been looking for a set of red ones. All I could find was from IND and they are a bit too pricy..

Picked mine up from ebay, have not come across red ones though. Guessing these would be quite rare

@Socket, Can't thank you enough for these detailed instructions. Purchased a rebuilt 335xi and the driver's side seat belt was catching (or getting completely stuck) as well as failing to retract. After following your instructions I found the seat belt tensioner was installed at an angle and hence the belt was rubbing. You saved the day and the 3 hours estimated shop time. Many, many thanks for this !!!

Going to do this again with my E90. This time I'm going to do a custom color. Unless something falls into my lap.
