Afternoon all,

 

My rear middle seat belt won't pull out at all - I've already tried the trick of feeding some in and pulling out, but it's only made it tighter. I removed the bolt and bracket and no luck.

 

Unfortunately when the rear seat back is up and in position, the tension on the seat belt is now ridiculous. (Pushing against the leather, can only get 1 finger underneath).

 

I can see the mechanism but can't get to it like a normal one, as it's part of the rear seat.

 

Can anyone help? Tips, tricks, solutions!

 

For info, car is a 2006 Superb Edition 100.

 

Cheers!

 

Jamie.

Managed to sort it out quickly - just undone the 17mm mounting bolt at the other end, this allowed the seatbelt to retract and then extend correctly.

 

Is quite a common issue along the VAG platforms it seems - now when lowering the seats, I'll be pulling the seatbelt out slightly before lowering to prevent this happening again.

Just bought new seats for car. When installed I didn't notice the seat belt twisted. Seat belt was locked up just as you described. I had to undo 17mm bolt also, to untwist belt and this also had same effect of allowing belt to unlock.
