If the bolt that holds the two parts of the seat belt mounting hooks and the nut that holds the two parts of the seat belt mounting hooks are not correctly installed, the hooks can separate. This allows the seat belt to separate from the belt mounting.
Inspect the hooks on each half of the seat belt in order to make sure that the bolt and the nut are correctly installed.
Remove the old bolt and the old nut, if the bolt and the nut are not correctly installed. Install a new bolt and a new nut.
Seat Belt Adjustment
Adjust both ends of the seat belt. The seat belt should be snug but comfortable.
