Default Seat Belt Refurbishment - Need Help

Is there any hope to fix a functional belt (extends, retracts and locks if required) from 2006 S2000, which was vandalized by some morons, below I have attache a pic of it. If I could replace just the belt it would be functional, not sure if it's worth it or possible to buy the damaged belt.

Thanks.



Thanks.

Cutting a seat belt is not covered by warranty. Time for a new one.

No, there is not. The s2000 was also not produced in the USA.

I believe he said produced for the USA as in produced for sale in the USA.

This roughly corresponds to page 17 of the 2004 S2000 Online Reference Owner's Manual where it states:
"Acura provides a lifetime warranty on seat belts for U.S. models. See your Acura Warranty Information booklet for details"

Read the terms of the warranty. They don't cover deployed pretensioners, vandalized or your dog eating them.

exactly I told him to lie and say he shut the door on them and the belt was cut.

And as already noted cars for the USA market not made in the USA

If it was still in the car I'd say there's a good chance the service dept would warranty replace it. Can't hurt to call and ask.
