That's never been my experience. But, every seatbelt I've seen (that wasn't a racing harness) has been attached to the body either with a hex bolt (3/4 or 7/8 inch) or a Torx-head bolt (usually either T-45 or T-50). The shoulder strap is behind the plastic body trim. Normally, you'll have to remove the door sill plate first.

You'll need to remove the plastic trim on the edge of the seat.

I've never played with one of these cars. You may need to remove the seat completely, just to be able to remove the plastic trim.
