    69 seat belt grommets

    How were the seat belt grommets on the outer seat belt attached to the carpet? Were they glued or sewn in?

      They were definitely not sewn in and I don't even think they were glued. I think they were designed so that the "flanges" on the grommets would retain them. However, mine were not very well retained from day-one.

          FWIW, I've seen many grommets with staples and/or staple holes in them, one on top, one on the bottom.

                  They were some sort of plastic, not rubber. However, they are somewhat pliable so they might be mistaken for rubber

                      I rechecked mine and there's absolutely no evidence of staples.

                              Mine are black. I believe the other interior colors had matching-color grommets.

                                          This must have been some sort of "assembly-line-developed interim fix" for the poorly fitting grommets. These things never installed properly and I suppose the assembly line workers had to improvise to do the best they could with them. At the time my car was built (mid-September, 1969) they were not using the staples, at least when my car went down the line.

                                              Jim,
                                              When was your car built?
