A vehicle seatbelt assembly includes a first member, a second member, a buckle mechanism, and a clutch mechanism. The first member is configured to attach to one of a vehicle floor structure and a seat structure. The second member is supported on the first member. The second member is configured for limited sliding movement relative to the first member. The buckle mechanism is attached to the second member for movement therewith. The buckle mechanism has a latch device configured to releaseably retain a seatbelt latch tongue member. The clutch mechanism is disposed between the first member and the second member and is operable to switch between a dis-engaged state and an engaged state. In the dis-engaged state, the clutch mechanism allows movement of the second member relative to the first member. In the engaged state, the clutch mechanism prevents movement of the second member relative to the first member.

A seat belt assembly, a garnish to cover a vehicular pillar and a method of making a vehicular pillar garnish. The garnish used in the assembly cooperates with a belt with a connected latch such that when the latch is disengaged from a corresponding seat belt buckle, a latch-receiving structure with a recessed portion formed in the garnish prevents contact with latch such that vibratory movement imparted to the disengaged latch as a result of vehicular movement does not result in the latch knocking or banging against the garnish. The recessed portion includes more than one region that may be used to provide extra functionality to the garnish, such as one or more of temporary storage for a portable electronic device and seat belt rerouting.

A vehicle seat system includes a seat including a seat base and a seat back having a first end pivotally connected to the seat base and a second end. A belt guide system is mounted adjacent to the second end. The belt guide system includes a guide mechanism supportable in a vehicle. The guide mechanism including a guide track having a first end section, a second end section, and an intermediate section extending between the first end and the second end. A shuttle arranged at the guide track. The shuttle is shiftable between the first end section and the second end section. An actuator is operatively connected to the shuttle. The actuator is operable to shift the shuttle between the first end section and the second end section. A belt guide is mounted to the shuttle.
