I find the seatbelt on my '97 SE does not have the tension on it that I'd like to hold me firmly in the seat as I got around corners (in day-to-day driving). Short of buying a racing harness or racing seat, are there any ideas on how to be more "held-in-place" in the seat?

I've made all the adjustments I can to the seat like angling the seat bottom back to prevent submarining & reducing the lumbar support to the max (for max side bolster support).

 

Scoot the seat back an inch or two.

Put on your seatbelt.

Yank the belt so it locks, and wont extend anymore.

Scoot the seat back forward to its normal position.

You should be plenty snug now...

 

I tried this out. I was good until Step 3. I found that with my seatbelt, even if I released it a mere 1/4", the belt mechanism unlocks itself. i.e. there needs to be CONSTANT tension on the seatbelt.

Nutz..... any other ideas???

 

Yeah, hold the belt tight while you move the seat forward.

This was especially entertaining to watch in my friend's old BMW with no power seats...

 

 

Dang!!! I'm snug as a bug?!? Your last tip made it all come together! Thx greatly. Time to carve some corners.
