Default Seat Belt Aaaaagh!!!!

This seat belt has been twisted at the lap belt since I had to put back the seat belt holder (the one on the top side of the seat) fell off.

Now I can't get this ****** straight. Any ideas?

you mean the clip is facing the wrong way when the belt itself is facing the right way? I freggin hate that

well the way i do it is, fold the seatbelt over itself once, under the buckle itself, so its like sharp at the top right hand corner and start threading it threw the clip and run the clip as the sharp crease is getting fatter. should take like 20 inchs to do it right and be tough to pass threw, but it will right itself and your seatbelt clip is facing the right way

You've got it mixed up. When I fasten the seat belt it is twisted across my lap (so the buckle is facing the right way but the belt itself isn't.

I think he means to fold the belt in half long ways, and then try to slide the attached piece up and down until the belt is correct.

Shouldn't be too hard to do, just takes a little hand strength and some patience.
