Actually, it locks when driving, during emergencies and when it has to, but it does not lock when I fully extend the belt so I can lock myself in the seat while I am on the track. I spoke with a few Corvette owners, who brought this to my attention. My passenger side belt locks, just not the driver's side.

I took it in to the dealership and they swapped the mechanism out - it still does not lock. I called the dealer, and they said that if the new mechanism does not lock, then it is probably designed that way (which raises the question: Why the heck didn't the mechanic or service manager check the work that was done... But whatever, I have you guys to fall back on, right?).

So, my question for you all is this: Does your driver's side seatbelt lock when you fully extend the belt? How about your passenger side? And for kicks and grins, do the backseat seatbelts lock?

Again, my driver's side seatbelt DOES work, I just am unable to get it to lock me in for track day events.
