The members (42, 44) cooperate to define a web guide slot (46) which laterally extends relative to the plate (12) to receive the seat belt webbing (36). The elevated member (44), includes a sloped surface (48) extending away from the first opening (34) and a first engagement surface (50) extending laterally positioned across a rear side of first opening (34). The latch plate assembly further includes: a cover (70) slidingly received about plate (12) relative to the web guide ( 40). The cover comprising first and second side members (72a, 72b), a top crossmember (74) and a bottom crossmember (76), each of the first and second side members (72a, 72b) including a slot (78a, 78b) through which is received a corresponding side (32a, 32b). The top crossmember (74) includes a rib (82) which extends into the first opening (34) so as to engage a front side of the first opening (34) when the cover (70) is slid forward on the plate (12) and to compressively load the seat belt webbing (36) against the first engagement surface (50) when the cover (70) is moved rearwardly.
