I have been keeping up with this conversation, and wish to jump in and ask a question. On my 2008 Tioga, 31M, the passenger side male end of the seat belt will only intermittently click into place when inserted into the female receptacle. I wanted to replace the whole seat belt assembly, but found that it is part of a what appears to be a heavy duty cable which is connected to a plunger in a cylinder. Has anyone encountered this problem?
Be careful! The "cylinder" you see is another explosive device! It's your seatbelt pre-tensioner. In a crash, a charge in the cylinder will go off and suck the cable in, pulling the seatbelt tight. If you are not familiar with airbag systems, you might want to leave that repair to the pros.
