Description
The one belt Cadillac forgot.
If you optioned Torch Red seat belts on your CT4-V Blackwing, you already know the problem. The fronts are red. The rear outboard belts are red. And then there’s the rear center belt — black — sitting dead in the middle of an otherwise perfect interior. Cadillac owners have a name for the moment they spot it: you can’t unsee it.
For years there was no clean fix. The matching red center part was hard to source, and the CT4 and CT5 versions are not interchangeable — they use different package-tray covers. Install the wrong one and you’re left with a visible trim gap where the cover doesn’t seat correctly. This listing is the correct CT4-spec assembly, with the correct cover, so the finished install reads as factory — not a workaround.
What this fixes:
– Replaces the black factory center belt with Torch Red to match your outboard and front belts
– Includes the correct CT4 package-tray cover — the CT5 part will not fit correctly
– Restores the cohesive, racing-inspired interior Cadillac’s own marketing promised
Why buy it from WAMS:
– New, genuine GM OEM part — not a junkyard pull, not dyed, not re-webbed. A seat belt is a federally regulated restraint (FMVSS 209/210); we don’t cut corners on safety-critical parts.
– Correct CT4 (4BW) cover verified — the most common mistake on this part, installing the CT5 version, eliminated before it ships.
– 23 years of OEM GM electronics and parts expertise behind every listing.
Fitment: Direct-fit to the second-row center position on all CT4 sedans (2020+). Specifically intended to correct the black-center-belt mismatch on CT4-V Blackwing models (2022+) optioned with Torch Red belts, and CT4-V models optioned the same way. (Check your car before ordering — confirm your current center belt is black.)
Install: Replacement is a remove-and-replace of the center belt at the rear package shelf — typically pulling the rear seat bottom and the package-tray cover to access the retractor. Pro tip: disconnect the battery first to avoid setting airbag/pretensioner fault codes, and have Torx/star sockets and plastic trim tools on hand. Reasonable DIY for an experienced owner; otherwise any GM-competent shop can handle it in well under an hour.
Q: Why is the rear center seat belt black on my CT4-V Blackwing when I ordered red belts?
A: Cadillac equipped the front and rear outboard belts in Torch Red but shipped the rear center belt in black on most cars. The matching red center part was hard to source for years, which is why so many cars are still mismatched.
Q: Will this fit my car?
A: It’s a direct fit to the second-row center position on all CT4 sedans from 2020 on. It’s specifically meant to correct the black-center mismatch on CT4-V Blackwing (2022+) and CT4-V cars optioned with Torch Red belts. Check that your current center belt is black before ordering.
Q: Is this the same part as the CT5-V Blackwing center belt?
A: No. The CT5-V Blackwing center part uses a different package-tray cover and will leave a trim mismatch if installed in a CT4. This is the correct CT4-spec assembly with the correct cover.
Q: Is it new and genuine?
A: Yes — a new, genuine GM OEM part, with no dyeing or re-webbing. A seat belt is a federally regulated safety restraint, so we only sell new correct-spec assemblies, never salvage.
Q: How hard is the install?
A: It’s a remove-and-replace at the rear package shelf — disconnect the battery to avoid fault codes, pull the rear seat bottom and the package-tray cover, swap the retractor, reassemble. Experienced DIYers manage it; any GM-competent shop can do it quickly.
