Replacement of driver's side seatbelt in 1990 Honda accord LX

The seat belt listed is worn and frayed, I am trying to replace it with a
new one and it would cost here in my home town between $150 and $200 to
get it done at a auto repair shop. I have check a number of books about
repairs to Hondas but found nothing on replacement of seat belts. Any help
would be appreciated.

Fraying isn't covered by the lifetime seat belt warranty?

I was told wear isn't covered when I asked. I would ask your local dealer.

No. Only functionality problems are covered.

Check a local wrecking yard for a replacement.

So, if the drivers side belt doesn't fully retract, is that a
functionality problem?

Might be. Since the belt can still actually be worn, it might not be. Check
with your dealer.

However, taking seat belts (particular the driver's belt, which is
very likely to have been in use) from a wreck with crash damage is
not the best idea. Seat belt material does stretch during the crash
to absorb the forces, so seat belts that have been used in crashes
may be less effective in subsequent crashes.

So pick a car that got sideswiped or something. Don't pick the one where
the grille is embedded in the firewall.

Also, there will be lots of '90s in the boneyard now that are there with
very minor damage, but were totalled because they're worthless.
