Is there anything you can do to make the seatbelts in the Mustang retract better and keep from getting tangled. The Ford engineers must have been through a case of Bud when they started designing these things.

I wonder if there is an aftermarket seatbelt spool you could install in place of the Ford one. It would probably be a pain in the ass to put it in, but it would be worth it. Even a spool out of a Chevy would be better.

I hate mine too. I have to sit there and **** with it everytime I get out of my car to keep it from getting stuck in the door. POS

It gets so annoying after a while that it makes me not want to wear my seatbelt. Then if you don't wear the seatbelt the car dings every 30 seconds, and that is worse than the ****ty seatbelts.

Fu*k a TSB on the 3650, just give me one for the seatbelts and I'll be happy. I'm seriously looking for a stronger retractor, but I can't find much info. If anyone knows anything let me know.

I'm not alone, wahoo! I felt retarded whenever they got tangled up! I'm thinking of putting harnesses in just so I don't have to deal with this crap!
