Is the automatic “attack” mechanism not functioning?

Other than replacing it, I know of no way that’s safe. Creating your own mounting points came to mind, but the stress on a belt in an accident is huge and there’s no way of knowing for sure if it would hold.

I don’t know what the attack mechanism is. Can you explain please? Thank you for any help you can give me. Cindy
