seatbelts locking

perhaps his has been discussed before, but I've missed it if so...

but these belts are really annoying us - the dealer says it's a "feature" -
we've got an '04 Accord

the belts will occasionally lock up tight to a person and/or lock when you
are trying to get them done up (before you can latch them)

is there any way to disable this "feature" without disabling the ability to
lock on impact?

Dave.

I would guess probably not. Tension and the locking cam are preset at
the factory. I would NOT want to start dis-assembling the seat belt
unit and fiddling with the cams.

I have an 04 Accord as well so I know what the issue is. But pull
abit more slowly when getting in and you won't have this problem. Its
one of those "just deal with it" issues.

Do they still lock if you pull them out slowly? You may be yanking them out
too fast.

OK - I'll try that - might be that - but sometimes locks up as we drive
along (particularly rear ones)
thanks.
