Seat Belt Problems of Volvo S70

The vehicle was parked on a city street. I entered the vehicle, sat down in the driver side and attempted to pull the seat across my body. I would not move, I began tugging at it and releasing it. I broke the housing off of the seatbelt and I could see inside it was wrapped in a spiral.

Tl the contact owns a 2000 Volvo S70. The contact stated that the driver's seat belt was completely locked in the retracted position and did not give any slack to secure the driver in the seat. The contact stated that the cylinder would not release the tension to pull it across the contact's body. The contact emailed the manufacturer and was referred to the dealer. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 141,700.

As I was pulling out onto a busy street, my seatbelt let go, spontaneously released itself! it does this 2-3 times in a row. When I hear the sound of a seatbelt buckle clicking (after I fasten mine, sound seems to come from the passenger side!) then I know it's not going to release again. At least not til after I shut the car off and then start it again.

This is not a complaint, but a request for information. My coworker has a 1998 Volvo S70. She is fairly short and the shoulder belt rubs on her neck. Is there any product available that would help move the seat belt to a better position without compromising its effectiveness.
