I have the same exact problem as ajwilson from Apr 07, 2009: "The seat belt for the second row seat got wrapped around the head rest and now is stuck. I need to figure a way to either release the seat belt tension or remove the head rest. Any ideas?" I did not see the answer posted on your site. Is there an easier answer than unbolting the seat or cutting the belt? Thank you.

2013 Chrysler 200 my passenger side seat belt is stuck around the head rest.

If the passenger side seat belt in your 2013 Chrysler 200 is stuck around the headrest, it could be due to a variety of issues. Here are a few things you may want to try:
  1. Check the seat belt retractor: The seat belt retractor is responsible for pulling the seat belt back into the housing when it is not in use. If the retractor is faulty or stuck, it could cause the seat belt to become stuck. You may be able to fix the problem by gently pulling on the seat belt to try and free the retractor.
  2. Check for debris: There may be debris or a foreign object stuck in the seat belt mechanism, causing it to become stuck. Carefully inspect the area around the seat belt and try to remove any debris that you find.
  3. Check the seat belt latch: The seat belt latch may be faulty or stuck, causing the seat belt to become stuck. You'll want to check the latch for any visible damage or problems and try to release it.
If you are unable to fix the problem, I recommend having a qualified mechanic diagnose and fix the issue for you. Seat belts are an important safety feature and it's important to ensure that they are functioning properly.

My child has gotten my seat belt tight around the back of my 2009 Ford Expedition headrest in the back seat of the second row. Is there anyway to take the headrest off so that I can get the seat belt...

Yes if you lift the headrest upwards it will raise and you may be able to lift it out, you may need to press a button on the seat top to do so.

Replacing serpintien belt for toyota carolla

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }

Look at the belt routing (the way the belt runs around all of the pulleys). If you do not find a belt routing diagram under the hood, you'll want to make your own sketch


Find the belt tensioner pulley, usually located just above the crankshaft.


Insert your 19mm ratchet or breaker bar tool into the tensioner bolt head and pull toward the front of the vehicle to release tension on the belt.


Slip the old belt off of the pulleys.


Reference your belt routing diagram to get the new belt seated on all pulleys. Make sure any grooves on the belt rest against grooved pulleys, and that smooth belt surfaces contact smooth pulleys.


Slowly release the tensioner and check for correct belt tension.


Run the engine and observe for flapping or noise, signs of incorrect installation.

07 Expedition second row seat head rest cover plate removal

There should either be a little button at the base of the headrest that you push, or a small hole in the rod part, with a hole in it. Push in the hole with a pen, or a small nail to release the headrest.

Rear seatbelt stuck behind head rest in locked position

haha we know you didnt do it on purpose, without seeing your problem and the hard to describe issue, i can only recommend to maybe try folding the seat to the cargo position, if that helps. if not, then you will more than likely need to disassemble the rear quarter panel, and unbolt the seat belt retractor from the body of the vehicle. sorry but there is no other way

Headrest 2002 cavalier

Try this i found this at another site sounds like it should work


01. Sit in the rear seat facing the front seat you will be removing the head rest from
02. Lean the front seat back so you are looking down at the head rest
03. Pull the head rest up as far as it will go
04. Take a small flat head screwdriver and slide in into one of the holes surrounding the head rest poles
05. Move it around until you feel some resistance (if you're lucky, you might be able to move the fabric a little and actually see the clip you need to remove)
06. Wiggle the screw driver around until the clip pops out (it may take a while, but eventually it will pop out)
07. Repeat steps 4-6 for the second head rest pole
08. Once you get the head rest off, turn it upside down and you will see two very thin metal discs holding the seat belt guide onto the head rest, you need to remove these
09. Take a screwdriver and pry up on the discs
10. Once you get the discs up a little bit, put some soap on the head rest poles
11. Take a towel and start twisting the discs, continue doing this until they
