Seat Belt Help....Kinda Rhymes...

My passenger side seat belt is acting up. First, it wouldn't roll back in, than i got it to roll in, and now it won't roll out, it comes out about 4 inches, than stops, and it makes the metallic clinking sound, that seat belts make when they lock up. Anyone have any ideas?

It has a built-in leveling device for safety in case of an accident. If its not level, the seat belt will lock-out.

Yea it's got to be level, damdest thing. Make it level and pull it down and it works. It took me about a week to figure that out. Any way, I have a couple sets of working passenger side seat belts, if you're interested. Happen to be brown, in good shape.

I got it figured out. I took out the storage bin, and discovered that the edge of the seat belt was wrapped around the teeth of the gear that stops the belt from moving...you know what I'm talking about. It works!
