Hi

Firstly, apologies if there are any posts relating to this subject!

It's approaching MOT time and the front passenger seat belt doesn't wind back in as quick as it should! Everything else is okay with it, so I'm just hoping it needs a clean before the MOT.

Does anyone know how to get to the seat belt behind the panel covers? I'm just wondering if its dusty behind there!

Any diagrams or advise would be appreciated.

Cheers

the drivers side panels just pull off i would imagine the passenger side is similar i havent had a proper look but cant see it being a big job to remove covers and give it a quick spray with wd40

Do you have to take the rubber seals off first?

Also, what's the best way to pull the covers off? I tried over the weekend and couldn't get my hand into anything to use as a grip!

nope seals stay in place

about half way down that page it gives a pretty detailed description in how to remove it. the trim is one piece front to rear ....

be careful with the cover for the upper seatbelt anchor bolt lol as i found out they cost about a 5a if you damage one

Cheers for this Holmesie - sorry I've not replied for a while.

Worked like a treat these steps!
