There are some retainer clips that hold that plastic piece to the headrest. As crazy as it is, GM might sell it as an all-in-one situation. Best recommendation, hit your nearest GM parts store (probably a dealer ship parts department) or check if some of the members who hit junk yards can dig one up for you (I don't go to yards nearly as much as I used to other wise I could help out).

look in ebay motors under "monte carlo seat belt guides" , there's about five or six listed around $30.

OK, slight correct here. This thread prompted me replace the guides that are missing from my project car so I pursued getting a pair for myself, but when I went to order, the guides listed the 'gen. 7 part when the criteria entered was for a gen. 6. So, I figure they're substituting because the gen. part has been discontinued. Not sure if gen.6 interchanges with a gen. 7 on this part.
The other thing I found is that if you try to remove the lock ring that holds the guide onto the chrome rods of the head rest you will scratch the heck out of the chrome. So today I went to "Pick-n-Pull" and got two new headrests with guides in perfect condition for $9.49 each. 60 second job and it's a done deal.
