Longer Seat Belt Receptacle?

TooMuchTxn · Oct 16, 2019

The buckle receptacle in my 2016 Chevy Tahoe LTZ just DIGS into my hip. Does anyone know a mod or a replacement that replaces the OE receptacle and lengthens so the receptacle is not between my hip and the console?

Thanks everyone!

Those are just extenders. I have no problem with the seatbelt length it is the receptacle (button) location. Those leave the receptacle between my hip and console and just plug into it.

Is this along the lines of what you are looking for? Not seeing any right away for tahoe/suburban but I would think someone could fabricate one for you or you could modify one.

If you have some fabricated, I would have them made out of ASTM A656 (Gr. 80) bar stock. That way you will have at least 80 KSI yield strength.

I would check with your Chevy dealer. If they have something, I would use that. This will become important if you ever have a crash. You do not want to give the OEM a pass if you are injured because you altered the vehicle and the alteration was the cause of your injury.
