Web Stop Button Replacement

2009 Jeep Liberty Limited, 4WD, Part TimeSECTION Web Stop Button Replacement

The webbing of each of the tip half seat belts in this vehicle is equipped with a molded plastic web stop button, which holds the latch plate of the seat belt tip half in a readily accessible stored position and prevents it from falling to the lower belt anchor while the belt is not in use. If this button becomes damaged or separated from the belt webbing, it may be successfully replaced using the following procedure without the need for removing or replacing the entire seat belt assembly.

The web stop button replacement kit includes two molded plastic replacement button halves: a male button half with a pointed spike in its center, and a female button half with a hole in its center. The button halves are not available separately. In addition to the button replacement kit, a pair of wheel weight pliers (such as KD Tools® #3358, Snap-on® #WWPR13A or equivalent) and a gel-type super adhesive glue (such as Mopar® Bond-All Gel #04467709 or equivalent) are required.

NOTE: Avoid using heavy-duty, truck-style wheel weight pliers as the jaws may not close far enough to successfully complete web stop button replacement.
