How do you keep the !@#$ seat belt buckles...

Even worse if you do not catch it it drains your battery over night

I think it must have something to do with how far back your seat is. I don't typically jam things up on my side, but I usually have the passenger seat all the way back and it gets caught a lot on that side. I am also in the habit of making sure the seatbelt is all the way reeled in before I shut the door...

Definitely correlated with seat position as mine IS all the way back. With it in that position it doesn't matter if it's reeled in or not, if you don't take the time to pull the buckle around the left seat bolster it will get caught (at least on my VX) every time.

My G35 has a belt guide attached to the clip on the wall that holds the buckle away from the door by a few inches or so - just wondering if you guys have ever seen something like that for the VX...

This is supposed to fix the seatbelt getting stuck in the door, but its not a perfect fix:

1) get in seat and put on seat belt
2) there is a little plastic slider on the seat belt. Slide that so that it is up againts the male end of the seat belt

by doing that, it is supposed to keep the seat belt out of the door- something to do with keeping the metal seatbelt-thing high enough on the seatbelt strap so that its not in the door.

It works, but you have to remember to check where that slider is every once in a while, as it doesnt stay in place very well.

I have had this problem as well. I also have my seat all the way back. I have just trained myself to check it before I close the door.

Oh yes that's anoying,every time you get in or get out got to actually fight with the belt `

It seems that the retracting system fades away after years

I guess we all got to live with it

ya what he said... after you put your seat belt on.. locate the plastic clip (it should be on your lap somewhere or down towards the door) and slide it so its almost all the way to the buckle... next time you take the seat belt off the buckle wont be able to slide between the door and seats

This'll sound odd to you guys but...

I adjust mine, fully retracted, so the buckle (male) is hanging as high as possible. It's always right there, over my left shoulder, ready to deploy...
And placing it there upon exit, keeps it "out da door".
