my ford ranchero has a problem.. the seat belts are too floppy...  when i go to drive it.. i have to dig for the seat belt..   my thoughts for a long time was to slide some shrink wrap over the webbing... probably from the bottom up with only a little heat to hold it in place...

i saw the roll of 2 inch wide shrink wrap over at hf  http://search.harborfreight.com/cpisearch/web/search.do?keyword=shrink&Submit=Go

just wondered if anybody else had tried it....

We used it on truck seat belts when I worked for a fleet. Seemed to work Ok.

on my ford pickup,81, there is a stiff collar around the belt where it comes between the back and bottom of the seats. a visit to your local boneyard would yield several other trucks ,maybe even a good color choice on the collar.
