Re: Do your shoulder seat belts get some slack after a short time?

If not, that could very well be your issue.
The cinch feature is to remove the slack from the belt which then allows the retractor to be more effective than when the feature has not been invoked.
If the feature makes no noticeable change then you have a more than one problem.
If you have not been routinely using this feature, you do not know what you have been missing as it significantly lets you snug the belt by pulling it and keeps it and you there, especially if you enjoy taking exit ramps at 75.

Marty you may be right that what I was thinking of is the Cinch button rather than pulling the belt all the way out to set. The cinch button is for the lap belt portion of the belt only. Do you know if the shoulder belt portion works the way I described? That is, you pull it out all the way then let it back in and it stays tight? I am pretty sure I remember that it did in my ZR-1s, but I may be mistaken. My memory is fading a bit I think and I haven't been in one for a few years.
BTW, I was looking around for cinch button info and came across this pdf version of a 1995 Owner's manual. Has this been posted before? I had not seen it before, but it was fun to read a bit of it. --Bob
