Do all 997's have twisted seat belts?

You can adjust the belt height in 2 seconds. Raise it and I think that should solve your problem. No need for seats adjustments or blocks.

Just tried, the height adjustment and it makes it worse. It only digs more into my neck, I guess it just wasn't designed for my body type. It's not that big of a deal if I stick to polo shirts, I just can't wear t-shirts while driving so I am dealing with it.

Don't give up on the adjustment yet. Play with it for a few days.

Lastly, you may want to lower/raise your chair also along with raising and lowering your belt height.

Well I tried all sorts of combinations with the same results. What I may do is flip the belt and male part of the buckle so it lays flat and give that a try for a few days and see how that goes.

Apparently standard black seatbelts are not twisted, only color ones are, no one seems to know why?

Well not sure about colored ones but mine are black and twisted. Unless you are saying colored ones are not twisted. Can anyone else confirm?

I have a 2006 C2S with black belts. They are not twisted.

Not twisted in my 996 Cab.

Twisted in my 997 Coupe.

I've been wondering about why it was twisted. I'm glad others too.

Strangely enough, my Cayenne seatbelt was twisted only on the passenger side, I reported to my dealer and they corrected it for me. I believe they had to unflip it from the feed under the b pillar cover.

Thanks for the pics looks like only the cabs don’t have twisted. I will need to look into the cab belts and see if I can do a swap in my coupe. I hate that my belt is twisted, I just have one of those cloth wraps around the belt that I hate but it keeps it from digging into my neck.

Black '05 C2S - twisted


It's possible that some with colored belts installed them after the fact, and if not being aware of the twist, installed them straight.
