Please help with seat belt problem

On my car (yours may be different) you first have to remove the bottom rear seat. If you feel under the seat you'll find two plastic clips about 1/3 way in on either side. You can use a screw driver to push in the clips and the lower seat will release. Pull up and out. Then the rear portion of the seat is held on by to screws on the bottom at either side. You can see them now that the lower seat is out. Unscrew and then pull the rear seat up to get the two tabs out of the slots at the top. Then you can remove the plastic push pins that hold the side panel on. Good luck with the belt mechanism. I haven't had to mess with mine.

you are in for a VERY long process. i had to remove the same panels to access the screws holding my side scoops. you will have to dissassemble almost the entire rear of the car. it is a major PITA. good luck with it.

its not THAT bad, i had to do it for my rear seat delete. just keep in mind that there are lots of tabs behind the panels

itll take u an afternoon to pull it all out, hopefully the retractor is fixable

I just had to pull the panel off to fix my passenger seatbelt. My seatbelt had gotten twisted, and retracted in all tangled up-like. The little plastic dot thing on the belt actually broke off of mine, and screwed some crap up. A little piece of advice is to get a blow dryer and heat up the panel at all of the tab mount points. I had tugged on the panel a bit to get it off, and the plastic strained too much; now I have a white mark showing through the plastic.

Also, I think there is a TSB on the seatbelt guide (The part that the belt runs through at the top that swivels). Ford has a replacement part that comes stock on newer 'stangs that has some piece of plastic wrapped around it that makes the belt move smoother through it, and not bind up at all. I really need to go get that done, because not one passenger in my car has ever left the belt all twisted and jammed up.

i'm glad you got it fixed. maybe you wont have to mess with it anymore.

I am glad to hear this.. I have had this problem for awhile but havent looked at it. sounds like ill be working on it thursday.
