Default 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.

Did some further testing. My driver side belt will not lock if I yank the shoulder belt out quickly, simulating a sudden stop. My passenger side WILL lock if I do the same test.

The Cinch button works on driver belt, but it only locks the lap portion. My shoulder belt is still free to move about.

Sounds like a lock or stop mechanism in my driver side belt is broken.

From reading past threads it sounds like these parts are no longer available and not reproduced. Bummer...
