Default Seatbelt twist?

Do all mustang's seatbelts have like one twist in them? And does that harness on the seat do anything? It pisses me off.

Just unbolt it from the floor, slip the belt out of the plastic sheath, untwist, reinsert into sheath, and bolt back. Twist is gone, seatbelt is like it should have been from the factory.

As for the seatbelt brackets on the seats... Mine sold on ebay a few weeks after I bought my car. I made some nice little stainless plates to cover up the bolt holes...

Try folding the seatbelt strap at an angle and sliding the fold through the conector.Mine had this defect from the factory and yes it does drive you crazy.It's always twisted the wrong way.If this won't be enough to fix the seat belt then you will have to R&R the whole thing to make it right.
