Five Minute Envoy Project...

This was the last thing that I knew the Enovy needed when I bought it.  It wasn't a huge deal, but I wanted to get it fixed.  It was missing the little plastic "button" that is on the seat belt that prevents the seat belt buckle from sliding all the way down to the floor when it isn't being used.  I figured this would be a $5 - $10 part at the dealer.  NOT EVEN CLOSE!  The dealer wanted $25 and only sold them in pairs!  I wasn't about to pay that, so I did some searching online and found that Dorman Products makes them and they are available at O'Reilly Auto Parts and are $5.69 for a pair!


The installation was super easy.  I could still see the mark in the seat belt strap where the old "button" was located, so I snapped in the new one, snapped on the cap and that was it!  The new seat belt stop "button" is the exact same color, pattern, and style as the original ones and looks great!
