Twisted Seatbelt

Any suggestion on how I can untwist my seatbelt. We took it in to the dealer to get the oil changed and days later noticed the belt was twisted.

Unless you have a torque wrench, take it back to the the dealer and have them fix it. Seatbelts must be properly torqued when tightened in order to be sure they'll work properly in a collision.

Hi Nacol! Its actually not that tough to do. Its tougher describing the process, though. Slide the latch low on the belt. Then, a few centimetres (or inches if you prefer) above the latch give the belt half a twist on itself. Sqeeze the fold to flaten it as much as you can. Then slide the latch slowly over the fold making sure the fold does not slip. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if it works for you. Actually let me know if it doesn't as well, and I will try to takes some pic's if that helps.Peace,BB

Is the actual belt twisted the wrong way? Or is the little latch flipped (which BlackBerry's suggestion will nicely fix, btw)And yea, that'd be a factory defect if it was actually twisted. There's no reason for the dealer to be taking apart your seatbelts.
