These seatbelts were rebuilt, but I think they only changed the webbing.
Is the installation correct? Is the webbing suppose to twist as shown in the photo? Or do I need the springs replaced too? I made sure the alignment pin is in the firewall hole.  |

I specifically asked that be done and I can tell it wasn't touched. Oh well, I still have to help the belt retract which sucks.
For the OP, here's what I believe to be the correct orientation of the guide bar: Attached thumbnail(s)
