The seatbelts are designed that way. Unless the vehicle is under rapid deceleration, the seatbelts do not lock. They are supposed to move freely.

When you brake hard, the mechanism engages and the seatbelt locks.

they should lock with a quick pull of your hand...the vehicle stopped or moving makes no difference... i do 2 quick pulls as quick and hard as I can...that is how they are tested during an inspection.

how old is the sub?
