As far as I can tell, the only part that comes down is the little door in the middle of the backseat. Your key goes in there and unlocks it and you can put it up or down depending if you are hauling anything. it is available when you pull down the strap that gives you the cup holders and center console in the backseat.
You did not state the age of your vehicle, however over the years, a seat belt will collect body oils, dirt, food particles, etc.
Pull your seat belt out as far as you can. Clamping in place makes the next part easier.
Grab a bucket of water, laundry detergent and a white (because you can observe soil staining) wash rag, then scrub your seat belt. Keep rinsing your wash rag and scrubbing the belt. Once the rag is no longer picking up stains, you're done.
Allow the belt to dry completely before allowing to retract.
Once dry, it should retract properly.
Do NOT lubricate the belt with silicone or WD40, etc. These are not designed for a safety critical item and are not required once the belt is clean.
you need the car on level ground and try to take tension off the side that retracts however you can. hold it there a few seconds and try to slowly move the belt. good luck
I just solved the problem for a stuck rear center seat belt in my 2002 Jetta.
Flip the base seat cushion forward against the front seat backs. Trace down along the belt to its tether point on the floor. The belt is sewn around a steel loop. The loop is anchored to a black steel hook. A thin silvery retainer plate is spring tensioned on top of the loop to prevent it from sliding off of the hook when the seat back is folded.
Therefore, you need to press the silvery retainer plate away from the hook (push up) to allow the loop to be slid from the hook. The belt was tight with the seat back in the upright position, so it was necessary to fold the seat back forward to create slack in the belt. Now push the belt loop towards the trunk and slide it off of the end of the hook (only possible with the retainer plate pushed up out of the way).
Now with total release of tension on the system via the bottom end of the seat belt being untethered and with the seat back returned to the upright position, normal extension and retraction of the belt will be reestablished. Next, simply extend the seat belt and slide the loop back into place over the floor hook. It snaps past the silvery retainer plate without all the effort required to hold the plate up during removal of the loop during disassembly.
Check again, the seat belt should be extending and retracting properly. Now just put the seat cushion back into regular position and you will be able to safely buckle up three people across the back seat.
It took about as long to do this repair as it has taken to post this answer to the problem. Note, the seat belt safety mechanism only allows normal extension and retraction of the belt when the seat back is upright.
you have to get to the seat anchor bolt and remove it to take the tension off the seat belt and fold the seat up then it should come loose and you can pun the bold back in
