You are talking about the lap belts. Right? Mine don't but I guess I will have to try in a really steep hill, but in all other situations they don't lock. So all I need to do is find is a donor car with manual belts? (That shouldn't be too difficult here in Canada). All the mounts are there? I don't have the car at the moment, but I might try that when I have the car. Thanks for the information! Marc.

That was my first thought exactly. That's why I would really like to figure out it if they are working properly or not. So what you are saying is I have no way of kowing if they work until I get into a collision? I have also tried pulling the lap belt quickly going uphill or under hard deceleration and they never lock. Makes me wonder what will happen in a collision ??? I'm curious. How exactly did you proceed to convert to manual belts? I really don't like the automatic belts. If it's not too complicated, maybe that's what I'll do. Thanks.

Hi Tom, Thanks for your reply. I was talking about the lap belts. They don't stop if I pull them fast. Only the shoulder belts do. Are my lap belts ok? Thanks. Marc.

Hi, I have a question about the seatbelts in my 1992 Subaru Loyale. I am in Canada but my car originally came from the US with the automatic shoulder belt and the manual lap belt. No other loyale around here is set up like that. They all have regular manual 3 point seatbelts so I cannot compare with any other car around here. Here is the question: I noticed that the shoulder belt does "jerk stop" if you pull it really fast. But I also noticed the lap belt does NOT. Is this normal? Do I have only half of a seat belt working? I noticed the passenger lap belt is doing the same thing. That's why I am thinking this is possibly normal and that they lock only in case of collision???? Should I replace the Lap Belts? If so, they are impossible to find here in Canada. Do you know where could I find one in the US? Thanks for clarifying. Marc.
