SEAT BELTS IN FRONT OF VEHICLE HAVE BEEN MALFUNCTIONING SINCE 1996; THE SEATBELT LOOSEN UP (SHOULDER BELTS)-THE ONLY WAY THE SHOULDER BELTS CAN BE MADE SNUG AGAINST THE BODY IS TO REMOVE THE BELT COMPLETELY, HOPE THE BELT RETRACTS INTO THE RETRACTOR(WHICH REALLY DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME), CAREFULLY REATTACH THE BELT ACROSS THE BODY AND CLICK INTO THE HOLDER. IF THIS IS NOT DONE EXACTLY THE SEATBELT STILL DOES NOT FUNCITON PROPERLY.
