True! Very sensitive to position as well. I cannot pull out the belts on mine if the car is at an angle on the road. I overcame the sticking problem (very common apparently with the marque) by further winding up the spring on the belt and running the belt up the side of the tub not the end - slotted the tub so to do as my belt hangers are mounted on the roll bar. It is possible to marginally change the operating angle of the mechanism but this is definitely not recommended for the faint hearted - not like the Jag XJ6 belts on my Beauford, which I can realign according to their installation angle. I was supplied with hex headed bolts for fixing to the car.

Don't seatbelt mechanisms have a weight inside that moves forward in an accident, if it's on the wrong side of the car will it work properly.
