Help, Tourer seat bealt wont unwind

macafee2 · 14th January 2019, 13:48

I have a replacement rear near side seatbelt for my facelift Tourer.
It will not unwind, I don't think it is faulty as having unbolted the original seat belt, it too will not unwind.

I am assuming there is some sort of brake that has operated but how and how do I release it?

There are 3 "lugs" that fit into the body of the car, one has the securing bolt, the other two, no idea.

Can you help me out?

thank you in advance

Needs to be perfectly balanced if not it won’t unwind try mounting it then unwinding

cheers mick, I was just coming back to say almost the same thing.
yes it is indeed touchy about what angle it is at. Took me a while to find out how touchy
