I had a sedan and just bought coupe. I noticed on my passengers side seatbelt that there is a seam right in the middle of the belt. It seems to me to be some what of a safety concern. The seam stops it from moving up and down smoothly. I was just wondering if all coupes where like this or is it just mine.

Do you mean a section with a whole bunch of stitching? My passenger seat has that too, I've wondered about that before. I've noticed that the seat belt sometimes will not be tight enough because of that seam.
Funny things you notice when you're drunk.

From what I can see, that seam keeps the buckle from travelling all the way to the floor.

If you are talking about what looks like a "flap" It is designed for cars with airbag off switches to work correctly.2007 G6 L4

Uh, there isn't a flap on the seatbelt. The seat detects a passenger and enables the airbag.Originally posted by screw991le

Thanks I know that the seats detect to turn the airbags on, but why would they need to put the seam for the belt right in the middle. My drivers side isn't like that. I just thing it's a little bit of a safety hazard. When skinny people sit in my car the belt doesn't fit ans secure them in right.Comment

Wasn't there a recall or TSB on the seatbelts for this? I think I remember reading that somewhere quite a while ago but I can't remember where.Comment

Do you mean the extra stitching on the passenger side belt, right above the little button stopper thing that keeps the latch plate from sliding all the way down? My Aura has it as well, so do the Malibus. Best we could figure out on Saturnfans.com was that it might be there to keep the seatbelt from hitting the side of the pillar and seat when no one is wearing it and making noise. Since someone is always in the driver's seat, and theoretically buckled up, it's not needed there. Don't know if that's the real reason though.
