Passenger seat belt reversed

[05Limited]

We've been driving around in the car for several weeks now and my wife said that she thinks the seatbelt is installed wrong because no matter what she does it is always twisted. Stopped by Toyota and the service rep said it was installed wrong. The metal buckle and the plastic stop on the strap are facing the window and should be facing inward. Gee it makes you wonder how the factory can mess something like that up. You might want to check yours out next time you jump in the car.

sure it jsut didnt get twisted. I know on my Sienna and camry both I have to twist them back the way they are supposed to be all the time from getting the carseats all hooked up and stuff. Just a thought.

yea.. just maybe twisted... and it's not that hard to take it out and flip it around yourself.. make it a sunday project or somethin... If ya need instructions.. I can try it this weekend

Nope not twisted, I showed the service writer at the dealer and they were amused too. Rather than tie up the car waiting for a new part I decided to wait until the first service appointment.

It might have been removed to install an accessory and not installed that way from the factory. Does your car have Satalite radio in it?

There are no added items installed on my car other than those straight from the factory.
