I've found the quality to be rather poor for most aftermarket stuff like that. Have you tried the reconditioned ones from the Fiero Store? They are like new basically. Totally clean, even have new plastic bushings.

Or just pull one out of a newer model car at the yard that still has a good and fully working system.

Or pull yours apart and replace the bushings and oil it well, so it works like new again (unless the seat belt itself is actually torn or fraying, of course).

Whichever ones you use, BE SURE to get both ends. DO NOT assume that one end from this fiero will match with that end from another fiero. In the infinite wisdom of GM, they used different belts throughout the fiero line. It is VERY easy to get belts that won't fit together (male and female ends won't latch together) if you start mixing belts from different cars.

Good tip, I didn't know that.
