Subject: C900 Rear seat belt bolt.



I recently removed the C-pillar trims to re-cover them.  A fine job I
did too, even if I do say so myself!  (Photos of the whole job will
follow...)  However when replacing the seatbelt guide the threads
stripped and I cant torque the bolt up to the required 33ftlb, no-where
near.

Now the bolt screws into a captive nut, which is welded into the
chassis/body, and its this nut which has stripped out.  WHY was the
bolt designed with a stronger thread that the captive nut, and has
anyone got any experience/ideas of how to fix this problem.  My rear
off-side seatbelt is currently U.S.
