Ellen, it may not be ALL Scott's fault -- these things, sometimes called 
"keepers" are just a sliver of flimsy plastic and over time become brittle 
and break.  But, you can (with some diligent searching) find universal 
keepers at auto-parts stores for a pittance.  In my experience, the place on 
the rack reserved for these is usually sold out, but if you keep looking, 
somewhere a store will have them in stock and make a few cents on you.  BTW, 
the broken keepers are what caused the tongue-end of the seat belt to gnaw 
into the arm bolster on the door of my BW's 75.  Luckily, she did not blame 
it all on me.
