hey guy
it got me thinking when i was cleaning out my car and vacking the seats n crap the seat belts in the back are non-retractable lol i was thinking of replacing them with retractable ones im not sure how to go about it or how much it would cost can someone help me out thanks
Rare spares ave them, $126.50 each, here's a link:

That said, I got a nice set out of a VL.
would seat belts from a vl fit mine
Just check on ebay for some second hand one dude. I had to replace mine to get a blue slip it cost me $15 for another seatbelt that retracts and is in good condition. Not sure about the VL fitting right, but even mine was from another car and it fine, maybe from a gemini or it could have been from a VK/L
For rear seatbelts you have to get VH ones as the mounting points are different between VK/VL and VH
I purchased a really good condition set off ebay a few years ago that were from a VK and they definitely don't fit my VH as the unlocker thingy in the seatbelt mechanism does not work unless its on the correct angle
VK mount on their sides on a vertical angle which is different to a VH which mounts on the underside of the parcel shelf upside down
as shown here
My VH ones are retractable so they did come with themjust got to find a good set... that's the trouble haha
With the fronts VK ones fit the same as a VH (though are a different style), you just also need to change the stalks as they changed the locking style from a larger open type to a smaller closed type... but VL ones fit but don't work correctly... slightly different angle and always lock up all the time on the fronts... I had one on my drivers side and it did this all the time and it was a pain in the ass lol
So in a nutshell you will need VH ones.... VB and VC ones prob fit VH too.... I would say but don't quote me on that haha
klippan make direct replacement belts for 90 bucks each. but really there is nothing wrong with lap belts.
klippan nor rare spares made rear rectractables for VH when I was chasing a set for mine, so I bought a good set of VK's from the wrecker, had to modify them so they would unlock

you have to do some investigation. without looking at the length of the buckle i would say it is the K7222 which has an adjustable buckle.
i had to put new ones in my vh when i rebuilt it, i chassed around and couldnt get a set i liked, i got a set of klippan, altho they looked different they worked so much better than a second hand set.
so i guess vl ones wouldn't fit
