so, replacing the driver side seat belt buckle on a 2003 toyota corolla ain’t super hard, but it’s a bit of a hassle. i tried doing it myself last month. first, you gotta figure out how to take the seat off, which is like a mini workout. But then, when you finally get to it, it’s just a plastic clip holding it in place.
i remember thinking, is this really gonna cost me a fortune or what? but turns out, the new buckle was only like 20 bucks online. not bad, right? the hardest part was getting the old one out without losing my mind. you ever done it? i thought I was gonna break the seat, but nope, all good. just take your time, and you’ll be fine.
