Seat belt button

[ravstar13]

Hi All

Just wanted to know how to revive the press buttons on the seat belt catch...its gone a bit pink anyway to get it back to a nice red??

Although ive not tried it myself this looks like a solution:



might be worth trying it on a spare set from the breakers first.

Can ones on comfort seats fit on motorsport seats to the actual seats by any chance??

Peanut butter may actually do something. Works on black!

Didn't work for me if you both are talking about C4.

PM me if you want to know how I did it.

Cool! I would've wrote it up, but was in a rush at the time. Believe it or not I have asked people how they restored their seat belt buttons before and they completely ignored me; obviously didn't want me to be in the new seat belt button club!

1) Clean the button with acetone (I used a toothbrush) several times for around 2-3 minutes.
2) When you're happy that it's clean, put some gtechniq C4 on it with the applicator.
3) Once dry, dust off any residue with a micro-fibre cloth.

DONE!

I'll stick a pic up for a before and after when I get a minute.

PS Try to avoid getting acetone on the black plastic surround; it messes it up!

The heat method destroys the casing and distort's it just as it gets hot enough to work - so don't use the heat gun method - mine were all pinkish white, tried T cut and various other plastic restorers, they looked great for 10 minutes then slowly turned whitish again.

Today I was fiddling about and scratched the surface with my thumbnail - red appeared, did all four, using fingernails and a dry kitchen sponge scourer - good as new - no product - strange.

I just cleaned, and then painted mine with red model paint. Looks very good, and seems to be lasting well. Only takes 5 minutes to redo too.
