Don't do this!
Don't do this!
From the driver seat I reached over in an atempt to close the club door. I grabbed the seat belt and pulled it out as far as it would go to pull the door closed. It looped around the park brake handle and when I let go- see picture.
The only way to free it is with a torque drive wrench and remove the seat belt anchor. Or use a knife to cut the seat belt. Worse part of it was that it held the parking brake on!

That must have really sucked.
I always do this but give the belt a "Quick" tug to get it to lock up and then then door shuts without problem and the belt has not pulled far enough to catch anything.

It was 10F and windy and both doors were open. My daughter refused to reach over and close the doors, she was in the back seat behind me. We were waiting for 2 more passengers and it WAS COLD, so closing the door would cut some of the cold air.
