Only just realised but my '05 MCS cab seatbelts appear to be installed wrong - its like they are both put on twisted - as it is in the 'fitted' position - the belt seems twisted as it leaves the slot on the door card - both sides are the same in the front - is this a cab trait?

thank you in advance

Yep, bl00dy nightmare, Sham/pingu did a similar thread on this, i slammed mine in the door because they dont retract very quickly and now have a dent

There should be a torx bolt on the bottom of the seat belt that can be removed and then the belt can be un-twisted. then all you have to do is fold the belt through the buckle so it is pointing in the right direction.
