[Vwdiesel] seatbelt question

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

How can you develop a phobia over a length of cloth, a coil
spring and a wratchet with a sloppy weight?


  Because many if not most of the newer seat belts have an explosive 
charge in them to tighten up the belt in an accident!  Kinda like saying 
there's no concerns pulling the steering wheel center pad off of a newer 
car.  Should be safely doable but do exercise caution, no static, any 
wires disconnected, etc.  Same cautions as when changing out an air 
bag.
