Seat belt latch

Post by raidervibe »

bought a used 03 vibe. The driver side seatbelt latch should be facing out toward the driver, not toward the driver door. Every time I fasten the seat belt I have to twist the belt so the latch goes into the buckle. Any way to easily take it off and put back in its proper position?

strange.... i dunno, as I've never really looked at my seatbelt latch. It's probably some huge, weird bit that you need to take it off I'll look at mine and see. Do you have any pictures showing how it's backwards?

Welcome to GenVibe!!! It's a simple fix. Just twist/fold the belt so it forms a diagonal crease then pull the latch up through the crease. It will be difficult to get a doubled over belt through the latch so give it a good pull!
