rear seat belts won't go back up

Post by dang10010 »

When I replace my rear struts the rear seat belts went all the way in and now they won't come back out. Not a huge deal as no one has ever sat in the back but it would just be nice to have it work right.

This happened to me when I put in my rear STB a few months ago.

Tilt them at all different angles, and slowly try to pull the belts out. It's a pain in the a--, but they will come free. In future, try not to let them roll all the way in when removing them from the strut towers, this isn't uncommon.

You'll get it!
