After following the NHTSA link from the Seat Wear topic and searching the 2006 Xterra, I discovered a complaint that I noticed in my '06 Off-Road.

It seems the left rear seat buckle and center buckle are installed in a way that is reversed from how they should be. They share a common mounting point under the rear seat. I intend to correct the problem myself.

Any one else notice this?

Yes......mine is like that also.

The seatbelt guy at the Nissan plant must have called in sick only to be replace by a dyslexic temp.

this is common in cars...

ive seen 2-3 different makes of vehicles where the center seatbelt crosses over the outside seatbelt to buckle. this leads me to believe that there is a reason for this and that it isnt a mistake

I think it's because it's already cramped back there with 3 people...so much so that you can't get a comfortable angle on the seat belt without them crossing. Imagine they didn't cross, the seat belts would have to wrap around you pretty tight, I would think that wouldn't be pleasant. I dunno if I explained right, it's hard to describe what I mean...

you are right. the belts crossing allow for a wider person than if it was the other way.
