Announcement posted by Seatbelts 4 U 29 Feb 2016
Automotive safety systems have continuously improved since the invention of the passenger vehicle, but perhaps none have had as large an impact as the seat belt. Seatbelts are arguably the most effective safety mechanism when it comes to protecting passengers in the event of a collision. However, in order for seat-belts to properly protect passengers, they must be used properly and regularly.
Seatbelts4u can report that they regularly receive the same frequently asked questions regarding seatbelt use, and some of these, and their replies are repeated here.
“I have difficulty getting the seat belts to retract properly.” This is usually caused by the top loop where the belt retracts getting 'jammed' or dirt under the top loop (webbing). To remedy this, clean the loop (under the belt) and then spray it LIGHTLY with a silicone spray (Under no circumstances should penetrating oil be used on any seat belts components).
“Are replacement buttons available to stop the seat belts tongue from dropping down all the time?” We have replacement buttons and can fit them while you wait. They can also be posted.
“The seatbelts in my vehicle are too short.” Follow below remedies: • Extension Belt: The seat belt extension can be used in a large number of cars in both front and rear seats. Ideal for the larger occupant where the existing belt is not long enough and when installing a child seat or capsule. The Seat Belt Extension adds up to 40cm to the belt’s overall length. Fitting is easy as the belt simply clicks into the existing seat belt and buckle and fits most Australian cars made over the last eight years. For vehicle compatibility give us a call.
“Extend the Seatbelt.” We add a certified tether strap to the bottom of the seat belts.
