They do not ratchet. Internal pendulum style lock that will only lock above a certain angle, like when heavy braking is applied. I bought all new seatbelts thinking mine were broke BC not ratcheting and found out this is how they operate. Chiltons manual shows how to remove and test to confirm internal lock still works. Sucks for when putting car seats in back!
