Description of the problem	Tl*the contact owns a 2006 volkswagen beetle. The contact noticed a u-shaped bar attached to the seat belt, which allows the seat belt to move to the back when not in use. However, the seat belt did not function correctly. It would provide the contact approximately eight inches of "extra" seat belt because it would pop to the back position when it should have come to the front.
