    So the lap part of my seat belt strap on my 360 which is on a sport seat is twisted one time. In looking where it attached I can't for the life of me figure how that comes apart that I can spin it once to make it not twisted... Do I need to take the whole seat out and spin it once to rid myself of the twist?

    When you say that the belt is twisted, is it just the male portion of the buckle that it twisted? If so, fold the fabric portion of the belt over on itself and then slide this fold through the slot in the buckle. It will be a tight fit, but you can carefully pull the doubled over portion through the slot. This will flip the male portion of the buckle over 180 degrees.

    If the belt itself is actually twisted/mounted incorrectly, then someone must have had the end off of the seat, and reinstalled it incorrectly. You will have to unbolt the end of the belt where it anchors to the seat and flip the anchor over and reinstall it.

    I believe it’s mounted upside down. I just can’t figure how to get the bolt off the seat in looking at it. Is there a trick to taking it off a sport seat?

    There must be an attach bolt to where the belt attaches to the seat. With the regular seats there is a circular plug that you pry out to access the bolt that goes to the seat. Maybe search some photos of seats for sale in ebay for clues?

    I’ll post some pics when I get a min. This week I’ve been working days and overnights at my job and sleeping in between.

    Yeah... so I'm an idiot... I never tried pulling the plastic cap off what I now realize was a bolt head. Fixed it tonight when I took the garbage out to the garage....
