    Rear seat belt retractor stuck

    Anyone know how to fix this?

    I undid the base mounts to bedline the interior of a jeep. And it retracted up like normal. Now. It won't budge. It didn't click when going up. It extends and retracts about 1.5". But that's it. Neither light pulling or hard pulling makes a difference.
    Both the rears did this.

    I pulled them off the jeep to try and take them apart. But I can't figure out how to get the actual thing apart.

    Tom knows how they come apart, so does Inigo Montoya. They've pulled them apart and made them work again. You know how to get ahold of each of them.

    This is the rears though. Not the front. They did the fronts. As far as I can remember. The rears aren't dirty at all.

    I did the same with mine when I bedlined my interior. I don't remember what made them work again but I did get them to extend and it wasn't anything worth remembering! Keep trying.

    Rubber mallet our take the little white plastic cover off. That is where the little ball is that locks them in place is located. They get dirt in them and make the tolerance too close for it to unlock.

    i wouldnt mind taking it apart to look at the clip piece, but im not even sure how to get it out of the plastic surround piece. (again this is the REAR seat belts, that attach at the base of the roll cage)

    I just threw a set of those away when I moved. I never had a problem with the rears so I never took them apart. If you have them out of the jeep then mb give them a good rinsing out so you can get any dirt out of them.
    Good luck.

    Pour some rubbing alcohol in the mechanism. There might be some dirt in there. It won't hurt. And it's a cheap fix.

    I just saw three people jogging outside my window and it inspired me... to get up and close the blinds.

    There really isn't a like...opening in the mechanism.
