thank you for this DIY it was helpful!
Thank you for this DIY it was helpful when I swapped out my tired black belts for new red ones to match my Guards Red.
I actually couldn't find belts for my model year 2003 Boxster but did find some for the earlier Boxster without the connection to the airbag sensor. I was able to swap the black belt in the original retractor to the red belt taken out of the replacement retractor (with the help from this DIY post)so I still have the functions per my model year plus shiny new red belts!
It took only ~30 minutes. And no trips to the shoemaker. All the hardware fit except for the new supplied retractor which didn't have the explosive charge. I had to add a washer to the shoulder anchor point as the new plastic anchor trim was 1 mm thinner than the original plastic anchor trim. The swap of the new belt for the old into the old retractor was easy. I would recommend pulling the belt to all the way extended and locking with a screwdriver before removing the retractor from the car.
