Default Twisted Seat Belt

All I have to do is get the buckle-tab part twisted around 180 degrees once and it'll be fixed but for the life of me I can't twist the belt through that part since it's so tight. Anyone had any success with this?

Edit: The belt is NOT twisted, it's fine. It's the tongue piece that is twisted around.

I guess I didn't make it clear enough in my first post. It's not the seatbelt that is turned, it's the tongue piece that is twisted on the belt. The seatbelt is fine but when you try to buckle yourself in, you have to turn the tongue around to buckle in, which twists the belt. You have to turn the actual tongue, not twist the belt.

It's happened to me before, takes a bit of working, but you can twist it around. Just try to get a small part of the edge of the seat belt folded over, then go from there.

Yup, what JS2k said.

Fiddle with it till you get one side folded over on itself then just pull it to the other side, then unfold it again.

Fold the seat belt in half then move the tongue up or down onto the part that is folded. Then hold the belt unfolded and repeat.
