Sounds like I have the "pull up" version
. I didn't realize there were two versions. I may look into acquiring the other version.
I'll find that part number and post it. The stiffening of the belt material may be caused by soapy water running into the interior when washing the car (impossible to avoid). When it dries it might be causing the belt material to stiffen somewhat (heck, it sounds plausible to me).
