Middle seat belt stuck

Post by PhilEvelyn »

Feel that there is going to be an easy fix to this that I just don't know but the middle seat belt is stuck so tight I can't lift the seat back into position.

Any suggestions gratefully received. I've tried releasing the belt while the seat is down, no luck, and I've tried turning round three times and saying 'release you [emoji200]', that didn't work either.

usually the 'release you' spell works quite well for me, but it sounds like the seatbelt is locked into place.
will it still roll back or is it really stuck in either direction? (roll out and back)?

I can just get the seat back into position but there is no play in the belt to release it and it's tight as....

Tried releasing it with the seat down but allegedly it's locked when the seat is down.

Mine locked too and the seat just about went back up. A friend who works unbolted the seat belt from the bottom and pulled it at different angles and it was sorted. Sorry it's not much help!

Sounds like it works better than shouting at it so I'll go with it.
