I tried to take straps through the black locking mechanism and now they will not go back the way the started.... How do I take the straps out of the locking mechanism so I can re-weave it through?
Those go a certain way and no other. For future reference the way to remove the belts is to release the metal oval under the seat and bring it up thru the holes in the bottom of te seat, then out thru the back. You have to undo the clasp and chest snap. Now....you have quite a problem as the straps are responsible for saving a life in the event of a motor vehicle accident. This being said you can try and slip the doubled over ends thru the end that is most narrow, slides into the track and the wider part snaps over the keeper on the seat itself, a little snapping plastic button. Next it goes under the lockdown and up into the first hole. You will need to compress the adjuster of the locking mechanism to get it up thru. If you can do this the next step is down thru and out the end of the locking mechanism. If the holes are too bound up and wont let the end of the belt thru, you may need to cut off the very end and re-thread it, then fold over the material and resew the end over itself to reform the stop. Cutting a belt is a last resort so make sure you are careful and that it is working properly. Otherwise, go buy a new seat. Good luck
