Hi Guys,
Have been redoing a 74 Eldo Convertible, just spent three days getting the seats out and installed new carpeting. I tried to be as organized as possible, I'm kinda disorganized by nature, We did a beautiful job, looks like a specialty shop did it :-)

One small problem, As we went back from front to rear gluing and fastening I managed to miss the two plug connector that goes to the drivers seatbelt.  This is the one that stops the car from starting unless the seatbelt is fastened. :-(  The only way to get it to start is with no one in the front seat.

Please, please, please tell me there is a way I can fix this without tearing out my new carpet.....Thanks for any suggestions. I do have a shop manual, but it only talks about the right way to fix it.
I would rather push an old Cadillac, than drive a new anything:-)
