I HAVE A JEEP WRANGLER, 1995. THE FEMALE END OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT IS NO LONGER LATCHING SECURELY. THE MALE END WILL SELF-RELEASE PERIODICALLY AND IT REQUIRES REPEATED LATCHING TO SECURE THE SEAT BELT. THIS PROBLEM DEVELOPED RECENTLY AND WILL APPARENTLY REQUIRE A REPLACEMENT OF THE SEAT BELT FEMALE END. *JB
