Had my front seat belts installed this past weekend and I'm not sure if I'm remembering incorrectly or if the dealer installed them incorrectly. Both of my seat belts do not lay flat anymore but have a twist in them and the manufacture sticker is facing the pillar so one can't see it when not hooked up. Just wanted to make sure that they didn't goof up on this since all of my other non-porsche cars seat belts lay flat when not installed.

Hope this isn't too confusing....

Are you talking about when your have buckled it or when not? I had a twist in mine when I had it buckled, but was able to twist it back to have them flat... hope it helps..

when it is unbuckled and laying flat against the side pillars, mine has a twist in it and the tag is facing the pillar. if i unscrew the bottom bolt and flip it so the tag faces away from the pillar the twist will be gone. so should have the label facing away from the pillar towards the seat or is the twist suppose to be there? so confusing....

You have described how mine are - tag toward the exterior, half twist, buckle points forward. I think they were installed properly.

i always thought it was normal even though it doesn't seem right. mine twists where the seatbelt comes out (on the side).

This was one of the first things I noticed when I got my car. I told my salesman it had a twist in it but we looked at a couple of other ones and they were the same. Does not seem correct but it is normal.
