I own a 1997 Chevy Astro van custom. The rear seatbelts do not work in the back benchseat. They haven't worked since we bought the vehicle we have fought and fought to get this issue fixed. The go in with a screwdriver and pop it and say it's ok. It"S not ok> kids sit back there. Or at least they are supposed to. I can't allow anyone to use those seats. I am afraid to get some from the junkyard and for 30,000. I should have working seatbelts.
