“1988 cheverolet Celebrity. Manufacrurer does not stock or sell replacement seat belts or parts. The part is a plastic clip that goes over the seat belt buckle. Probably a $1.00 part. But the local dealer says that they cannot provide the clip or the belt. Am I supposed to throw away a car that is otherwise perfect?? Is not the manufacurer required to provide availability of replacement safety parts? There are millions of these GM cars still on the road.”
