Passenger seat belt completely locked.

[we_call_him_doher]

Hey all,

Just a quick question, the seat belt on the passenger side has completely locked up so now it can't be used. In the bentley manual it describes the procedure to release the tensioner by turning a screw. I can't find this screw, and I'm not sure that I'm looking in the right place. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and can point me in the correct direction?

Thanks,
Robert

One time, my brother got stuck in the seatbelt in my dad's car because the latch button malfunctioned. Totally unrelated but funny to think about all the same.

The cable may have come off the pulley system within the B-pillar. You will need to remove the top and bottom covers of the B-pillar (they are clipped in, just pull). Find the cable and place it back on the pulley.

The other thing that could have happend was the cable may have snapped.

can the covers be removed with the seat in?

have u tried pushing the metal clip in further and then trying to press the release button?
