Hi Guys,

I am having issues with my passenger side seat belt. It is constantly locking up and will not until lock and retract. After about 10 minutes of yanking on it, I finally was able to get it to retract.

I have searched the forum and seen others with very similar issues. I have tried following the links to the pictures on the 'other' site but the are either broken or they are no longer available.

I see references to removing a 'green part' from the mechanism. This concers me a bit seeing as it's my fiancée side. Does this degrade the seat belts ability to restrain in the event of a crash? Is it a better idea to replace the belt itself? I don't know how big a hassle this would be with the belt built into the seat itself.

Does anyone have any decent pictures of the fix for this? Is there a write up anywhere that I am missing? Thank you all for the time! Have a Happy New Year!

I can't find the pictures that I know used to exist out on the net, but it really is an easy fix, and it has made my wife okay with riding in my car again. It's seriously one of the best mods I've done to my car.

I think it took about ten minutes or so. You'll see the seat belt retractor, and there is a clear/green spring thing on the side of it. Just pop it off with a screwdriver, and reassemble. It doesn't affect the way the normal seat belt functions work.
