What year?
Some, including my 92, have a "cinch" buttom on the seatbelt housing. This locks the seatbelt but not the shoulderbelt. |

Is there a black button on the belt housing beside the seat?

When I get to the shop( it's in the shop) I'll check it out, Why would someone have to, after buckling in, should have to press some button, is beyond me, I had a 85 and it did not have that problem... anyhow thanks this place is awesome and I like the little touches like spell check and things like that that other forums don't have.... |

Actually the "cinch" feature is there if you plan to do any performance driving like a HPDE on the track. It helps keep you in the seat.
The shoulderbelt still moves though which sucks for the track. I have no idea what year they started putting this in. |

Cool, so then it's on the 89 too. iCorvette, when you get to the shop, check to see if that button's working. Normally, the belt should reel in and out freely unless you hit something and the G force locks it. The button's spring loaded, I'd check if it's in the "up" position. Then pull the belt out a bit, push the button and see if it locks. You should not be able to pull the belt out further but it should retract normally. If you let the belt retract, this should reset the button and return everything to normal operation. |
