You weaving it to the front of the plate? i.e. the waist straps coming 
forwards out of the outside slots?

I have a problem with the webbing on my harness slowly creeping through

I dove out of a small boat. Donning the gear means sitting down,
getting<br>
into the gear then rolling over onto my knees before standing up. While I
am<br>
doing this, one strap is taking all the force and slipping (slightly).
<br>
<br>
The end result is unless I make sure the straps are reset before every
dive<br>
I end with the rig slightly skewed on my back which drives me nuts.<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest a way to prevent webbing creep through the weight
belt<br>
retainers on my backplate.</blockquote><br>
