Seat belt (minor metal content)
You guys always have answers.
Bought a little Toyota Tercel (1995) over a year ago. (BTW, I also now own an identical parts car) Now, it turns out, we use it all the time for our run-around car since we get an honest 30-34 miles to the gallon. SWMBO rightly complains that her seat belt is strangling her. With every move and wiggle the seat belt just gets tighter and tighter. The drivers belt allows you to lean forward (reach things etc.) and only locks up on sudden deceleration. The belts in the parts car act the same way. Checked with the Toyota service rep and was told that it works as designed so you could wrap it around a child-seat and not have it give. Needless to say my Silverado truck does not have this feature on the passenger side. Can anybody think of a work around. A driver's belt would not work on the passenger side because the inertia mechanism would be backwards. It's really bad. I've sat there and it's a miserable way to ride. Every five minutes or so, you end up unbuckling, letting the belt retract and then reinstalling. Pain in the ass. Any suggestions / modifications would be appreciated. Ivan Vegvary |
