Looking to pass my black seat belts on to my friend for his tan to black interior swap, only thing is they don't seem to be coming out of the "reel/spool" did I screw them up or are they salvage able ?.


thx

 

If theyre anything like the front belts of a da, they have a weight inside of them that auto lock them when they hit a certain angle. They need to be perfectly upright for them to reel out

 

I tried holding them upright it's very hard to get them to move I'm also wanting to sell my car and I need to put the rears back before I can get it to pass safety.


anyone else know

 

I will look at mine when I get home. I removed all my rear stuff not to long ago.

 

The seat belts unbolt top and bottom. If you get the bolts out that hold them to the frame you can take them out in one piece.

 

thank you would be a huge help ! I don't want to go junk yard picking.


yes that's the thing I took them out properly but the belt/buckle won't come out of the loom/reel/where it winds back in.

 

Too much belt is wound on reel and locking will not release, access the reel/lock and manually release it. 94

 

I just checked mine and they are also locked up.

I don't think it's because there is too much belt wound up as one of mine is half way out and it's still locked.

There doesn't appear to be a manual release unless you remove the whole component which is plastic and will probadly break.

I'm assuming it's becUse of the angle they are at I would try to bolt the spool back in the car and see if you can't unspool it then.

 

i have had the same problem and can't figure it out either when i swap my tan interior to black. i manage to slowly pull the belt back out by letting it retract one click and pulling it out fast as i can, it will slowly come out but take a long while somehow there is a locking mechanism that if you let to much of the belt retract it will lock up, i learn my lesson and for the last three i make sure to pull out the whole belt then tie it into a knot so the belt can't retract before unbolting.

 

Thanks guys yah I can get it to move a bit but it's really slow/hard to get undone should have clamped it. May have to go picking in the spring I'm going to bolt them up and see if I can get them loose.
