How do I untwist a seatbelt?

What can you do if your seatbelt just refuses to get with the program?

Has it ever happened to you that no matter what you do, your seatbelt refuses to cooperate? You pull, you tug, you literally wrestle with your car, and yet nothing happens. Here’s how you can fix a twisted seat belt.

Twisted seatbelts are more than just an annoyance; they can actually be a safety hazard. So, if you find your seatbelt twisted, here’s how to fix it.

• Extend the seatbelt fully and try pulling it out gently while pressing the release button on the retractor.
• Find where the twist begins and flip the buckle if it’s reversed.
• Run your hands along the length of the belt while pulling it straight, and if there’s still a twist, guide it back into shape.
• Once the seatbelt is straight, allow it to retract slowly.
