I have tried the method described in this thread...

https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... 6&p=255384

To pry upwards on the spool with no luck. So it looks like I am in the market for a new seat belt. I feel more uneasy driving unsecured than I did with the engine trouble I was having (freaking cam seal leaking into cap was the problem all along, didn't think to check when I replaced the cap and rotor).

Anyways, what models can I grab a seat belt from and mount into my S70 GLT? I went ahead and called my local dealership, ~$260 for a new replacement. I want to call around the salvage yards and search there first. Are there any places online, asides from eBay, that sells new or refurbs?

Your life depends on the seat belt, so it all depends how expensive you are worth.

The seat belt varies from chassis number, so get the exact PN from your dealer using your VIN, then search online for either used or new.

Example: 9444703 is $175 new from Volvo:

Thank you for the links, saving $100 over what the local dealership has is a lot easier to work with. However, so I am clear, I am not able to grab a seatbelt from similar 98-00 Volvos and mount it? I am just curious as to why, since a lot of other parts are interchangeable between trim models. Also, the PN should be the same for all 98 S70 GLTs, or does it vary as well?
