Seat Belt Buckles
When the 2nd seat is folded, Looks like it can somehow come down on the seat belt buckles and break the plastic covers. Both of the middle buckle covers are broken and I can still use them, but I think I am the only one. Anyone have a set of seat belt buckles or the plastic part that covers them? Belts could be cut off, or not working as I just need the covers.

I guess I am not exactly clear as to what I am looking for, Sorry I don't know the exact description of the part(s) I want. Let's try a picture, I took this in the dark so excuse the quality..
the one on the left is missing the black plastic case that goes on the outside The one on the right has the plastic still in place. These are located in the back seat ( 2nd row) in exactly the middle of the truck. When you fold the seat down, and move it up against the back of the front seat (1st row) these fall out an opening in the lower seat cushion and are attached to the floor. Under the seat that folds forward is a metal framework that sits on the floor when the seat is in the normal position for people to sit in the back seat. These need to be pulled back up through the opening in the lower cushion of the seat to be used. When they get crushed by the seat frame (and I assume someone sitting in the seat) the black plastic case gets crushed into a whole bunch of little pieces. The seatbelt will still function, but passengers get confused as this is not what they are used to seeing and it could get oil/dirt on their clothes (I guess)
The one on the right was broken but I was able to piece it back together, there is a small chunk right by the red button that is missing but it does work OK.
Personally I hate seat belts as they are always getting too tight or rubbing on my neck, or just plain bothering me. It is the law so I wear them, and they do keep you on place when off roading, but I don't have to like them.
