Default Seat belt spacers

Take a look at the pic below:




The front seat belt upper mounts have spacers to allow movement of the belt when pulling.

There are 2 types of spacers one for the front and one for the outer rear seats.

Is the big spacer with the long bolt for the front, as i've fitted or for the rear?

There quite a big gap between the B pillar and the seat belt.

If no-one is sure could it be possible for someone to check there own bolts/spacers by removing theirs, and get back to me please?



TA!

I refitted all my seatbelts last weekend and the spacers were in the front. If the little plastic sleeve has broked on the buckle part where the bolt goes through then the buckle won't move when the bolt is tightned and the belt won't retract. One of my rears has done this so I need to sort something with it. Hope this helps you mate?

It does help thanks, I believe it looks out of place because ive not fit the weatherstrip which brings the plastic trim further outwards, reducing the gap between the mounting and the trim.
