STUPID MUSTANG SEATBELTS!!!!

[TopDeadCenter]

GOD! has anybody found a way to rig the seatbelt to make it retract itself? Or..is it just my car and should i take it to the dealership? Anybody else having the same prob? Anyone solved it? i think it's standard mustang trouble..

 

[AirWolf87]

um mine retract ok....maybe its just yours. The big problem i have is that sometimes bc of the angle of the loop on the B pillar it gets jammed, but a godd pull and it retracts fine. If its that big of a problem get it checked out.

I took my loops out, the seatbelt doesnt get tangled as much and the seats look 10x better. But yes this is a common problem with all stangs, so I dont think the dealership can do anything about it.

vert seatbelt > coupe seatbelt

My seatbelts suck ass! They never retract and they always get tangled up both driver's and passenger's seat.

Mine are just fine, of course I've only had the car a little over two weeks so *knock on wood*

The trouble with mine is the fact it gets locked into position in the most in opportune time like when you're trying to check your blind spots before changing lanes on the freeway. Or trying to look back in general. SUCKS.

mine suck too !

I turned the buckles over..

So they face up instead of down. Work fine now. When they faced down the belting would get twisted and wouldn't retract all the way.

Yea mine lock too, I think that's a safety feature when you accelerate or brake at a certain rate. Mine do it all the time and don't unlock until I practically stop. I hate that
It's probably good though if you do autocross.

If I go WOT on the highway from like 50-100 or so, the seatbelt will lock really hard and hold for like 30 seconds until I coast down a bit.

BTW, how doyou remove those seatbelt loops? Do the headrests just pop off and the loops slide off? I didn't want to tug on anything and break something

 

[Slapyo]

mine retract fine. the only problem i have is the belt staying in the loop.

03gtmustang, how did you remove the loops?

 

[Marks5.0!]

mine retract fine, they just have a problem staying in the loop.
im gonna go remove the loops here in about an hour

 

[02mingreyGT]

Removing those loops isnt too hard just takes a little time and a special tool if i remember right. Go to mustangworld they have the how-to article

 

[el_kid_1]

Mine sucks too...

 

[huesmann]

It's the stupid angle.

 

[Satin Silver GT]

MINE SUCK!

 

[vidmaster]

wheres the how-to article on MW? DIdn't see it or I'm blind I want to get rid of these dumb belt loops but I don't want to just break them off

 

[sixstringthing]

Bump, I couldn't find the articles either and am definately interested in removing them, Unless they actually serve some kind of safety function???

 

[StevenGT-02]

mine retract as slow as #$^&

I got mine replaced at 44k miles since they weren't retracting anymore. Ford told me they were covered under 50k miles/5 years.
