A web guide (10) adapted to be secured to and removed from a post (12), the post of the type having a narrow part (14) and a larger head (16), the web guide comprising: a support frame (30) having a first end (32) and a second end (50,) the first end including an opening (34) comprising a wide portion (36) having a diameter larger than the head of the post and a small diameter portion (38) having a diameter smaller than the head. The thickness of the frame is not greater than the spacing between a post surface and a support surface (20). The second end (50) includes a slit (52) for receipt of a seat belt webbing (58). The web guide includes a pivoted lever (100), located on the frame, having a blocking end (102) positioned on one side of a fulcrum (134) and extending into the larger diameter portion (36) and movable from: (a) a first position in blocking engagement with a side of the head, when the head is positioned about the narrow diameter portion (38), for prohibiting relative movement of the head toward the wide diameter portion, and (b) to an elevated position away from the head whereby the frame can be moved to position the head within the wide diameter portion and the frame removed therefrom.
