Description
The one belt Cadillac forgot.
If you optioned Torch Red seat belts on your CT5-V Blackwing, you already know the problem. The fronts are red. The rear outboard belts are red; 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. (Owners who chose tan belts got all-tan, center included. Only the red option was left mismatched.)
What this fixes:
– Replaces the black factory center belt with Torch Red to match your outboard and front belts.
– Includes the correct CT5 package-tray cover so there’s no trim mismatch like earlier GM part numbers.
– Restores the cohesive, racing-inspired interior Cadillac’s own marketing promised.
Why buy it from WAMS:
– New, genuine GM 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 5BW cover verified — the most common mistake on this part 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 CT5 sedans (2020+). Specifically intended to correct the black-center-belt mismatch on 2022–2024 CT5-V Blackwing models optioned with Torch Red belts. (Many 2025+ Blackwings and the 2024 hand-built 20th Anniversary shipped with the red center already correct — check yours before ordering.)
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. 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 CT5-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 2022–2024 cars. The matching red center part was effectively unavailable 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 CT5 sedans from 2020 on. It’s specifically meant to correct the black-center mismatch on 2022–2024 CT5-V Blackwings with Torch Red belts. Note that many 2025+ Blackwings already came with a red center belt from the factory — check yours before ordering.
Q: Is this the same part as the CT4-V Blackwing center belt?
A: No. The CT4-V Blackwing center part uses a different package-tray cover and will leave a trim mismatch if installed in a CT5. This is the correct CT5-spec assembly with the correct cover.
Q: Is it new and genuine?
A: Yes — new, genuine GM, 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 — 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.
