Regal

Both rear shoulder belts get twisted when retracting-which cause retractor to bind-hang up internally/just like on 98-99 olds intrigue. Same basic design as on Regal and Grand Prix and other Buick models-have same condition/olds came out with recall to install guide-to keep belt from getting twisted.
