How do you get a rear passanger seat belt on a 1999 pontic grand am se that has lap and shoulder straps to lock?
Assuming everything is working right, the strap doesn't lock till you hit something. There is a weight in the base where the strap coils up that locks the strap when you hit something. You can usually test this by jerking the strap and it should lock. Question. Is this for a child seat. There may be a center lap only belt that locks solid. Very often it is tucked down behind seat and you have to look for it.

How do you repair the seat belt on a 1997 mustang gt?
Seat belt "repairs" are not recommended (read dangerous). If your talking about a torn or cut belt, get a new assembly from a dealer or junkyard. Broken buckles, same deal. The mechanism inside the seat belt can easily be damaged and result in you hitting the steering wheel/dash. There are two "torx head bolts" holding the shoulder strap in place, only one for the buckle.
How do you use child safety seats and seat belts?
A child is big enough to sit in the vehicle lap and shoulder belt when they can sit with their back against the vehicle seat back with their knees bent over the edge of the vehicle seat without slouching. This is when a child is approximately eight years old and 4'9." If a child cannot sit properly in the vehicle lap and shoulder belt they should use a belt positioning booster seat. The lap belt should lie securely on a child's upper thigh. The shoulder belt should fit snugly across the chest and rest between their neck and shoulder. Lap and shoulder belt are designed for adults and made to ride over the bony areas of the shoulders and hips. With small children, the lap belt tends to ride up into their abdomens and the shoulder belt cuts across their necks. A booster seat positions the lap and shoulder belt properly.

If the seat belt does not fit properly, a child should use a belt-positioning booster seat. Never place the shoulder belt under a child's arm.

which car company invented seat belt?
The seat belt was invented by George Cayley, a British engineer and inventor, in the mid-19th century. Cayley designed a safety belt for passengers in horse-drawn carriages, and his design included a strap that was attached to the floor of the carriage and passed between the passenger's legs, with another strap that passed over the shoulder. However, Cayley's seat belt was never put into widespread use and was largely forgotten until the 20th century. The modern seat belt, as we know it today, was invented by a Swedish engineer named Nils Bohlin. Bohlin worked for the Volvo car company, and he developed the three-point seat belt in the late 1950s. Bohlin's seat belt design was a significant improvement over earlier designs because it included a lap belt and a shoulder belt that were connected and could be tightened by the passenger. The three-point seat belt was first installed in Volvo cars in 1959, and it quickly became a standard safety feature in vehicles around the world.
