Release retracted seatbelt

You can't it is not designed that way. The seatbelt mechanism is damaged and needs to be replaced.

The safety belts are sensible to release speed (u have to release it kinda smooth).Also they are sensibile to car inclination (lean) may not release whel when rise/fall position.If locked,u may have to shake a little the belt so the locking spring/balls to unlock.Eventualy ,when driving it can release by itself.One thing is for shure:no sudden moves:it locks again (as in the impact scenario)Cheers

You will most likely need to replace the seatbelt retractor. The best place to find a replacement is usually your local self service auto salvage lot. I replaced mine last year and it ran me $10 for the retractor and u pull and pay.

I had the same problem. I unscrewed the seat belt from the floor board. That eased the tention and the belts released.

MIGHT HAVE TO REMOVE THE SEAT BELT TO HELP RELEASE THE TENSION AND RECONNECT IT BACK.

Try giving it a solid tap with something hard (screw driver handle) while jiggling the seatbelt.

you need to pull the belt out all the way to release it ,they have a locking mechanism for baby seats that stops them retracting,you pull them all the way out and they are reset and retract,common in modern cars,rare to give trouble

you can remove the bolt that holds the seatbelt to the floor by pulling off the seatpad where the belt goes to the floor and then raise the seat and the belt should reset. this happens on my passenger side rear seat.

i know this sounds rough, but pull the seat belt with both hands as hard as you can, this will more than likely free the seat belt, some of the seat belt may have jammed in the gear inside the roller box.......

To fix that scenario, I have to get to the bolts anchoring the seat belt which can be found under the rear seat. Which a socket wrench, remove the bolt freeing the seatbelt to allow you room to release the lock to pull the belt out from the top of the back seat. You may now push the back seat into its upright position and then refasten the seatbelts with the bolt to it's former position under the back seat.

When I in later times need to lower the back seat, I will either loop the seatbelt around the head rest or tie two belts together allowing for slack in case the belt tightens again when trying to move the seat back to its original position.

.....Very frustrating!!!
