You saved me HOURS on this repair for my 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee!
Also, it may be in your video, but that's a Torx T50 for the seatbelt bolt (in a Jeep at least).
Awesome video. Straight forward. Other channels I have hear about guys daily life and how he hates his mother-in-law before we get to the fixing. Don’t need to know what you plan on having for dinner, I’m just here to learn on how to take off a panel
🤭. Yes nothing but car talk should happen on videos like this ..
I am not very mechanically inclined, and this video was a lifesaver! Able to do it myself it took me about an hour, but if I had all the right tools on hand, it probably would’ve been a lot faster. Thank you so much!much also, I bought a Amazon version of the seat panel and both of the pushpins they included busted right away, so I just used a zip tie for that part.
Followed every step exactly, worked great. The only thing that happened that was different was the top clip, in the middle, didn't come out. Broke it out and a new one came with the Amazon one. $16 dollars and done.
Follow each step the same as the video.
Thanks for this awesome video.
Second video I've watched from you today as this non-car guy attempts to fix some cosmetic stuff on our van. Thanks for the videos easy enough for dolts like me to follow! 🙂
Excellent Video As Always. Straight From Professionals In The Automotive Repair Field..... Thanks For All Your Hard Work. 👊
Might be good to say what size Torx for the lap belt bolt.
Thanks. Worked out great otherwise!
Dude, I have to thank you. Your video was spot on and allowed me to fix that same panel on my 2017 Grand Caravan myself. Again, thank you so much. I will like and subscribe
Thanks so much for posting this video. I followed the steps and was able to replace my switch panel.
Thanks man I just saved 200 bucks and a trip to the dealership I did it on my grand caravan with the clip in the middle I had to pull up not push down
I noticed that its always the passenger that breaks and you can only find the driver side for sale on ebay its cool to have a great video to view when my passenger side goes, thank you TRQ
Thank you so much. Worked perfectly on a 2012 Chrysler grand voyager!
Thanks for the video...you saved me some coin from having to have someone else fix ours.
Hi, great video as I must replace the broken seat switch cover on driver side and the broken seat track cover on the passenger side of our 2013 T&C. Question, what size Torx driver is is needed to R&R the seat belt attach bolt starting at 2:20 in the video?
Thanks for the easy, informative videos!
The Torx size is 50. I only had up to size 40 in my tool set, but found it at Auto Zone for $5.99.
God how i wish you were in California, its hard trying to find someone as good as you to fix the same problem on my Chrysler minvan
Just the instructions I needed. Great job
Thanks, bud. Great instructions!
This was so satisfying watching i wish it was our van getting fixed. I’m so irritated with my seat it breaks everytime i get out. I even get out a certain way so it won’t touch me.
Thank you! It helped me a lot!
I just fixed this on my 2015. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks. I was looking for info on replacing a seatbelt. I damaged the plastic trim on the donor vehicle around the seat belt mount. I don't like damaging things even at the wrecker. It's a jerk move. I accidentally don't want to damage the trim on my car either.
Is a 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan basically the same as what you've shown? Thank you for posting! Like
You have the same one I do...I have sxt and it looks just like this except gray....and I need mine replaced...it was the fuse at first now I may need to do this
Great video thanks!!
The problem I have is when I pried it out
that clip pulled off of the cover. I was able
to pull it out but after looking at it I'm not
quite sure how it goes back on the cover.
It has 2 teeth on each side. It look like they
may have gone thru the plastic . Luckily
I found a T50 torx bit laying around to get
that seatbelt bolt off.
I've got a 2012 Volkswagen Routan. I believe that this is the same part, since, it's basically a Dodge Caravan with VW badges. Do you believe that this part would fit the Routan?
Do you by chance know where I can also get the actual seat switches as well and about how much they cost? Great video on the explanation on how to replace!!
You can get them off of eBay, they are $20-$30. Just search for “2008 Town and Country power seat switch”.
@@jeremyreynolds8476 thanks
Why did you have to remove the seatbelt bolt? Watching the video, it looks like you could replace everything there without disconnecting it.
This is the 2d time I’ve had to replace this skirt on my 2010 TC. The OEM part appears to be different, having some confusing reinforcements not shown in this video. It is definitely a poorly designed skirt as it will catch and bend as one scoots out of the vehicle. The result puts a lot of stress on the anchors and they break off. At $90 per it is frustrating deal with.
Thank you
Thanks for the help
Great demo! You fast!
Great vídeo👍👍
I'm new to doing my own repairs. What threadlocker is recommended? Seems to be different numbers. Does it matter?
Blue loctite would work for something like this
Torx bit 20 and what size is the lower Torx bolt
do you have the part numbers for the back side push pun and bolt and seat belt bolt cover.
Thanks 👍😎👍
I would like to replace this same panel on our 2014 Grand Caravan . All the websites I've looked at for replacement parts indicate it is for vehicles with leather seats. Ours has cloth. Will this part work for cloth seats?
+Ken Molitor The part in this video fits your application, and the install should be the same or similar as long as you have power seats. Buy this part on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-TRQ
Awesome!
I searched on ebay and finally found a closeup
of how the clip goes on. When It pulled off the
teeth somehow were yanked out and and bent
in the opposite direction of how they are suppose
to go. I had to bend them back so they were pointing
in toward the inside of the car.
Such a terribly designed seat trim. I've replaced 2 so far in 2 years on our '14 GC.
Same on our '12 Town and Country. Crap design..
our 2014 literally has parts falling off. Worst car ever
When I click the link to get the part, it says it’s for a 2011-2016 van and does not fit 2009. You have one for a 2009?
+kerry deshazo Thanks for watching! While the process will be the same, the part itself will only fit from 2011-2016. We do not carry one for your 2009 model at this time.
Why did you change that part?
Went to a pick and pull yard, found 3 of these and all 3 were broken. WTH? I guess if you slide out of the seat, you'll catch this and pull it right out.
As he put the belt behind the belt cover when he first took it off. So y didn't he do the same when he replaced the side cover.
So he wouldn't have to undo the seat belt anchor. Hmmm.....................
My seat dont work
Where is the fuse for it??
In the 2014 Chrysler Town and country I found it in the fuse box under the hood on the right hand side. J8 is the fuse that needs to be replaced.
