    Passenger seat belt doesn't unroll

    Anyone have a quick fix for this? The passenger seat belt seems to be locked up and won't unrolll...

    Thanks!

    Can you push the belt in more? Similar to a Chinese finger trap. Push in to relief the tension and it should come out.

      unfortunetley, it rolled up so far, it won't release at all. we've been trying for a few hours now. Ugh... If the seatbelt is toast, what are the options?

        New belts if you can't get them out

          you will need to pull the belt out, hold in hand at the vertical angle as if it was mounted in the pillar, tilt it slightly whilst slowly applying pressure to feed the belt back in to try release the lock and try pull it out a slighly different angle than straight up. If its reeled all the way in then its new belt time
