auto seat belts
Is it possible to clean or replace the switch in the door for the auto seat belts? Mine is working ok most of the time, but once in a while it takes a few minutes after I open the door before the belt gets the idea to move out of the way. Also, if I unhook the belt from the release it won't always hook back in without some coaxing.

I had a door that did something like that and come to find out the door hinge pin was sagging once I put a bushing kit in the hinge the seat bellt worked fine.

Re: auto seat belts
I disconnected mine so they do not move at all and you basically use them as regular seatbelts.....

I was having the same problem. The controlling switch is in the latch of the door. Squirt some penatrating oil in it. They get dirty and gummy after a while.

I too had a similar problem it was the latch in the door, replaced it , works fine. But if you have a concern about connecting the seat belt to the track maybe the track buckle is distorted in some way? Try and see if you see something bent inside.

Re: Re: auto seat belts
i unhooked mine also and then i just leave the shoulder belt on and slip it over my head works great and its fast when you see a cop and also it looks like you are wearing it even when you are not thumbs up
