| The front passenger seat belt on my 2007 chevy mailibu has stitching that does not allow it to position itself easily on smaller persons. the seatbelt often does not fit snug because the stitching does not slide easily through the buckle so the lap belt isn't sitting snugly. i have already had it in twice and the belt they reorder has the same problems and they say that they can't do anything more. | |||
