Yep I've used the same, they need to be held up slightly but a pin has fixed that as they slide below the catch It's good to be back from the dark side

Mine had two small scuff marks on the driver belt and I got an advisory. The tester told me that he should have failed it. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to  us off.

Mines got marks on the passenger belt, marks however don't affect it's use Or strength unless actual damage or freying is present. Never had even an advisory from Ford in two years...
Main reason it happens IMO is (I've never caused it) but not letting the belt go to it's correct position and then getting out or getting out too fast, then it gets pulled out over the latch and then the door banged on it. Luckily for me not too much and often noticed first so avoids any damage. My drivers side one never has had a mark because I have never managed it. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R 🇬🇧ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ¥ó ®ó §ó ¿ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ·ó ¬ó ³ó ¿ðŸ´ó §ó ¢ó ³ó £ó ´ó ¿ðŸ‡®ðŸ‡ªðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸â›½ï¸ðŸ›¢ï¸âš™ï¸ðŸ§°ðŸ’ª |

Many years ago, a passenger trapped his seatbelt in the door lock. Since then I’ve used a cable tie to prevent the bottom of the seatbelt being knocked outside when the passenger exits the truck.

Ive never done it, but the girlfriend did the old "why is this door not shutting?" whilst repeatedly slamming the door on the seatbelt.
