I figured the car's with airbags had this in place, but I thought the mechanism gave some give before locking. When I crashed my car a few years ago I had the Nardi installed and I never heard of this modification. My seat belt somehow kept me in place. So I'm guessing it wasn't that hard of a hit. lol
Remember when cars had no seatbelts or at least came with just lap belts?
Never mind. That's like asking if anyone remembers when AOL swamped our physical mailboxes with free, "sign up" CDs.

Good lord, I thought I was the only one! Someone t-boned that car the very next week.
Looks like I need to do this for my seat belt! Good lord! Or I'm gonna have a wheel in my face some day. Thanks Randy. I have never removed that seat belt mechanism, hope its easy.

You don't need to remove the seatbelt mechanism.
Ok I just finished removing the rip stop section, now I am faced with another problem. The plastic nub that keeps the belt latch from going passed a certain point is now making it so that when I buckle up, the section around the waist is now not snug. I guess the only was to solve this problem is to remove that plastic nub, any other suggestions? Thanks.
Edit: Well I just went ahead and removed that plastic nub and now it's fine, the belt latch now sits on the rip stop section that I left on the belt strap. I may look into a harness in the mean time, thanks for saving my life Randy.

I removed the plastic nub. I left the cloth sleeve that covers the extended portion of belt still on there. The belt is now fully extended but the cloth sleeve acts as a stopper for my male portion of the seatbelt clicking thing. It prevents it from falling all the way to the floor.

Thanks guys! Man I have been driving like this for about 8 years! I guess I'm lucky i didn't get into a bad accident.
Wow! Would have sucked to find out the hard way.
