Condition
On some Model 3 and Model Y vehicles, the 1st row LH and RH seatbelt D-ring to adjustable top loop bolt and/or adjustable top loop to B-pillar bolt may not have been secured to the correct specifications.
Correction
Inspect the vehicle for symptoms related to the condition. If symptoms are present, torque the fasteners to the correct specifications and, if necessary, repair the LH/RH B-pillar bolt hole thread(s), replace the LH/RH adjustable top loop(s), and/or replace the fasteners.
Procedure
- Release the LH B-pillar trim from the vehicle, and then set it aside (refer to Service Manual procedure 20051001; Model 3, Model Y).
NOTE: The B-pillar trim is still attached to the seatbelt.
- Inspect the bolt that attaches the LH 1st row seatbelt retractor D-ring to the adjustable top loop.
- If bolt threads are not visible between the retractor D-ring and adjustable top loop (Figure 1), the adjustable top loop does not require inspection; take note and skip to step 3
NOTE: Visible bolt collar (Figure 1, yellow arrow) is expected.
- If bolt threads are visible between the retractor D-ring and adjustable top loop (Figure 2, yellow arrow), the bolt and adjustable top loop bolt hole threads require inspection; take note and continue to step 3.
- Wiggle the LH adjustable top loop and inspect for a gap between the adjustable top loop and the B-pillar (Figure 3).
- If the adjustable top loop does not wiggle and is tight against the B-Pillar, the B-pillar bolt hole threads do not require inspection; take note and skip to step 4.
- If the adjustable top loop wiggles or is not flush against the B-pillar, the adjustable top loop bolt and B-pillar bolt hole threads require inspection; take note and skip to step 5.
- If steps 2 and 3 determine that no further inspection is required, torque both previously mentioned bolts (torque 20 Nm), take note, and skip to step 10. If further inspection is required, continue to step 5.
- If inspection is required, remove the bolt that attaches the LH 1st row seatbelt retractor D-ring to the adjustable top loop, and then set the retractor D-ring aside (Figure 4). If inspection is not required, skip to step 8.
- Inspect the bolt that attaches the LH 1st row seatbelt retractor D-ring to the adjustable top loop (Figure 5).
- If any of the bolt threads are damaged, discard the bolt and procure a new bolt.
- If none of the bolt threads are damaged, set the bolt aside for reuse.
- Inspect the LH 1st row seatbelt retractor D-ring to adjustable top loop bolt hole (Figure 6).
- If the bolt hole threads are damaged, the adjustable top loop requires replacement; take note and skip to step 8.
- If the bolt hole threads are undamaged, the adjustable top loop does not require replacement; take note and continue to step 8.
- If inspection is required, remove the bolt that attaches the LH adjustable top loop to the B-pillar (Figure 7) and inspect the B-Pillar bolt hole (Figure 8). If inspection is not required, skip to step 10.
- If the B-pillar bolt hole threads are damaged, repair is required; take note and skip to step 9.
- If the B-pillar bolt hole threads are not damaged, repair is not required; take note and continue to step 9.
- If the adjustable top loop is being reused, inspect the bolt that attaches the LH adjustable top loop to the B-pillar (Figure 9).
- If any of bolt threads are damaged, remove and discard the clip that attaches the bolt to the adjustable top loop, discard the bolt, and install a new bolt.
NOTE: The clip does not need reuse or replacement.
- If none of the bolt threads are damaged, take note and set the adjustable top loop aside.
- Repeat steps 1–9 for the RH 1st row seatbelt, and after returning to this step, continue to step 11.
- Repair any damaged B-pillar bolt holes as instructed in section “B-pillar Repair”.
- Replace or reinstall the adjustable top loop(s) depending on the noted condition of the adjustable top loop bolt hole threads, and then install all components that were removed for access (refer to Service Manual procedure 20051001; Model 3, Model Y).
NOTE: If upon inspection the seatbelt retractor D-ring bolt was undamaged, it can be reused.
B-Pillar Thread Repair
NOTE: Refer to TN-15-92-001 for guidelines on using the thread repair kit.
- Use the 12 mm drill bit from the thread repair kit, with cutting oil, to drill out the damaged threads (Figure 10).
