I hate having uncaring passengers, how some ppl put on and take off their seat belts amaze me, just press button assist to retract all good and easy isn't it.
No not for some ppl who have been in the rear of my car, r/h and centre belts are twisted ! I hate it so that means the buckle is facing into the seat grrrrrrr. Call me fussy  Anybody know of some easier technics to de-twist and have the buckle facing out again ? Please don't tell have to take seat out  :

hi bluedriver
i'm with you. i don't know how people do it! the easy way is to fold the seatbelt over a tiny bit on an angle, and push the buckle through the fold until its completely the other way around. a bit difficult to explain but really easy to do.

Glad I'm not the only one who hates twisted belts.
I get them straight again exactly the same way Mr Hardware mentioned, fold the webbing and push it through the buckle.

I with ya there on twisted seat belts.
What I cant stand is when people twist them so much that when they get out, the buckle is almost on pulled out on the ground and they slam the door with the buckle out the door or worse, the door gets slammed with the buckle scratching the paint on the wheel well. Annoys me no end. They wonder why I get angry after.

I'm only glad my T3 is a garage queen nowadays, heck having 3kids in the back wanting ice creams/food etc would ruin my drive in my mind thinking I can't stand the mess :togo: Thanks fellas for tips will fix them up.

I had a repairer do the same thing with a massive dent in the b-pillar when I picked it up. The exact size of the buckle. Denied, denied, denied, so we refused to accept the car back until it was fixed.
Agree with folding the webbing back around, works every time.
