Does anyone know if this would include untwisting a backwards seatbelt?
I still can't figure out how that happens--the click-in part of the
seatbelt gets twisted around backwards.

You mean the buckle on the belt - the part which clicks into the latch?
When it's happened on our cars - both Camry and Hondas which my wife
drove/drives - no sexist judgements from me :-^) - it's usually fairly
simple to twist it back again. Of course the easier it is to get it back,
the more easily it's going to retwist again... especially if the user
doesn't stow the the belt properly and allow the spring reel to pull the
belt back into it's housing after use.:-P
