Untwist Seat Belts?

[LuckysDad]

The twisted seat belt is driving me crazy!
Has anyone successfully untwisted their Seat belts?

How difficult was it?

Several people here have done it and then switched back as it was less comfortable the other way. A simple forum search will probably answer your other questions.

The funny thing about these twisted seat belts is that although I agree that they look aggravating and twisted when they are at rest, when I go to put mine on it always falls easily to hand and is never twisted or seeming to have the tendency to twist once I’m wearing it. It’s almost like someone actually knew what they were doing when they designed the installation.
