for #2 - I just turn it backwards and slide into the plastic thingy that keeps the belt aligned on the upper side of the seat - will snap a pic when I get in the car later today.

This is what I was trying to describe above.


Speaking of seatbelts - I sometimes have a problem with my drivers side belt attempting to kill me - it likes to stand straight out and when I get in the car it stabs me in the back - hurts like hell.

I needed a WAG friendly solution so I loosely zip tied the lower portion of the passenger seat belt to the seat back adjustment lever. No rattle and the buckle and belt is a bit easier to grasp and put on. Also no need to instruct them how to unbuckle and place the buckle in the plastic guide.

Thanks, all -- gives me things to try, at least on the passenger side.

I cannot recall the last car we owner where this didn't start happening after a couple of years.

my driver's side belt needs a very funky twist in order to lie flat. it's like they installed one end twisted around. none of the other belts i have EVER used needed this, but it's flipped the wrong way at the tensioner end it seems, or overll just plain wrong. f@#king hate it.
