Calling all 4dr owners!
 
I deleted my rear seats, now I have this ugly looking seatbelt. What have you guys done with this? I was thinking about adding a light reflector in there, but I figured Id ask whats been done first.

Yeah Im assuming in the rear doors. I just left them unless anyone here posts a better idea.

What about cutting an appropriately sized piece of similarly colored plastic (or painted) and attach it with two sided tape, or hot glue, to fill the hole.

Hot glue tends to let go from extreme heating and cooling that can take place during the appropriate months of such temps.

Something that just popped into my head which would be cool, but not sure how labor intensive it'd be...

wire up lights in the seat belt spot to kick on with other interior lights. I know at times it would be nice to see back there where the dome light doesn't illuminate well. What lights and how to install I don't know though. I guess one could use the OEM rectangle ranger dome light and fab up a wooden mounting plate to situate behind the opening.

I was thinking non permanent when I said got glue... You could use silicone or maybe some epoxy but that may be hard to remove.

I just took the seatbelts out. I haven't done anything with the holes yet. Lights would be coll though, it wouldn't be hard at all.

eddiefromcali 09-22-2009 07:49 PM

Im going to visit a semi-truck supply store and see what they have....I want to get rid of the belts and put something there

russian 09-22-2009 09:31 PM

I think Im just going to take them out tomorrow, would be nice to fill them with something though.

morris 10-01-2009 01:57 AM

haha! i've got similar stuff in my cubby. i've got the same tape and scissors in one and jumpers in the other.

FullThrottle02 10-01-2009 05:23 PM

I put some pvc plastic sheet in there. I think it is about 3/16" thick. It is only held in with duct tape right now. I need to figure something else out.

99offroadrngr 10-01-2009 05:37 PM

I would say go to the junkyard and find a truck with the same color panel and take a panel from there, cut out the appropriate size and epoxy it on, if you wish to cover the hole. If you wanna do lights, do it. I may follow your steps and do it myself sometime haha I would like to also delete my seats

morris 10-02-2009 12:02 AM

you could always get a spare from the junk yard and make slivers of plastic and mix it with acetane and make a plastic paste. then use that to bond the plastic plate to the door. after that sand down and paint.

Ford makes plugs that fill those holes. They were used in trucks that came w/o the seats. You can probably get them from the stealership. Mine had them but I'm keeping them incase I take the seats back out.

Lord Of War 10-04-2009 09:30 PM

Hollywood, you should post pics.

ColdNapalm 10-04-2009 09:36 PM

bondo and paint?

Some LED lights would look nice.

Now thats a win.

1997ranger 10-11-2009 12:35 AM

fab up some way to mount up some diamond plate in the hole and put some lights in it, i think that would look pretty sharp.

fordlife 10-11-2009 08:51 AM

i just left it but i have a speaker box and tool boxes on either side so you only really see it when the door is open

russian 10-11-2009 08:53 AM

Rubberized FTW!

the tremor edition ranger came w/out rear seats, so the have no belts in the rear. take a look down the parts aisle there has to be something in the hole.

eddiefromcali 10-18-2009 04:44 PM
