Replacing seat belt

[ssbtech]

I have a brand new seat belt to replace a frayed driver's belt.

 

I've noticed that holding it in any position other than straight up and down, the angle lock engages and prevents unwinding of the belt. Is this normal? Seems like it'll be an issue when parked on a hill.

 

Thanks.

Don't do anything, the belts are covered for life by Subaru, call the dealership, they will replace it for free.

 

It say's so in the warranty book in the glove box. I have been through this a year ago.

 

I even had to call SOA and tell them it was covered after she told me it wasn't. When I read her the print and page number in the Warranty book, she changed her tune.

 

I posted about it here, just not sure where.

Not in Canadaland:

Good to know. Maybe I was over exaggerating the angles a bit when holding it. I've just never had the belt lock up while on a hill.
