most cars have a lockup mechanism on both drivers and passengers seatbelts.....
think of it this way, if the car gets into an accident, you want to hold the body into the seat, instead of letting it fling forward into the dash..... also, on airbag equipped vehicles, it would be a bad idea to let your face get that close to the explosive charge of the airbag popper and then the bag would deploy into your face instead of letting your face hit an inflated bag
yeah... thats how it should work, but mine locks up way too fast! it's like it thinks we're always in a car crash...
it's not a real problem, but it is annoying! Every time i get in the car it's a good half minutes struggle to get the seat belt on...
i cleaned my seatbelts in straight purple degreaser after taking the top bolt off and using a vice grip to hold it unspooled. i then rinsed it in a couple clean buckets of water and let it dry. works like new now.
i'm gonna try that!
