Not sure if this goes here, please move if it doesn't.

I was installing my ods's Frontier tonight after washing the cover and I always do the LBP with it. And as I was doing it I thought.. I don't know if I've gotten used to doing it or if the seatbelt has stretched from being in that postion everyday all day for months? Is it possible? :confused:

Seatbelts stretch in a collision. But I think you'd see stretch marks in the belt. Did you look it over and see any? I think chances are you've just gotten used to installing it.

That's what I kind of figured, but just curious if it's possible. I mean with the extreme weather (heat/cold) and stuff, kwim? I know it seems like a silly question probably. I have never looked it over but I will now. :p Are they very noticable?

If you look it over "with a fine tooth comb" (obviously, not literally using a comb), you should be able to see it.
