Seat Belt Jammed

Hello folks,

I tried to search for the problem I have, but cant find a result.

Basically the drivers seat belt, has some how folded over on itself and jammed inside the pillar.  The downside is, my car is at home and I'm currently in Cambridge until the end of the week.

Has this happened to anyone before?  Does anyone have an idea how I can rectify this myself?

Thanks in advance,

Sean

Hi Sean 

I get this issue occasionally in my Ford escort (my first ever car and now used as a second weekend car ) and for me it's just a case of persuading the seatbelt to unfold. If you can I find pulling on the belt and trying to unfold it at the same time can work, in failing that try pushing the belt through the clip and unfold at the same time if that makes sense. 

Someone else may have other suggestions but the two I'll mentioned work for me. 

Cheers :)

Just an update in case anyone has the same issue, all it took to rectify, was to move the slider down and give it a firm tug, all sorted then :yes:
