Considering a second set re-belted with a "tasteful" pop.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

New forum member so be gentle ;-) I'm considering upgrading my front driver & passenger belts via seatbeltplanet.com.
My understanding are seat belts from a standard 996 Carrera are not compatible with 996 Turbos due to the sensor in the retractor. Needed for airbag & dash light.
Additionally, are the front driver & passenger seat belts in the 996 coupes and cabriolets the same?
May I ask the more experienced Porsche owners for their assistance & guidance.
Thanks!
I can't answer your question but have you done the first step and looked up the part numbers online for each variation to see if they happen to be the same? If you get lucky and they are the same, there is your answer.
I have also been looking into new and or re-webbing my current seatbelts. First question is what year is your Turbo. Anything before 2002 doesn't have the airbag sensor. From 2002 on you have the green airbag sensor plug. The 997.1 seatbelts also fit the 996; I confirmed with the dealer when I requested part numbers for Guards Red seatbelts.
Replied yesterday yvvvz, but guess I'm still a bit rusty on navigating on the forums again after a 5 yr break. Was in the vintage BMW world for many years with restorations/ resto mods. New to 911s... God help me. Check part #s??? Duh moment there
and yes, they are different. Thanks for the reminder.
Good to know 2002 or later. I'll look into the 997.1 option too. Much thanks!
Btw... seatbeltplanet.com's shop is around the corner from our office in Edmond. Legit biz, great staff. Gave me a tour of their shop
When I was exploring this, Seatbelt Planet was pretty adamant that the best option was to send them my OG hardware to be rewebbed as the Porsche hardware is extremely good. So if your hardware isn�t damaged, I�d do that.
Wrapping up a Safari conversion. Current belts are in good condition & work. Considering a second set re-belted with a "tasteful" pop. Really a B priority in the scheme of things.
They told me same. Like I said a few min ago, my current belts are fine, really a B priority and a bit of exploring if there is $$$ left in the budget. Good to hear Seatbelt Planet is consistent in their recommendations.
I appreciate the replies!
