Gee 1st Gear June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 Not sure if you want to go to this extent, Remove back seat, try push belt in with plastic card. If it can go in, slowly pull out. But even if you manage to pull out and working as normal there's still possibility it may stuck again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 If the belt is stuck at its rest position. The easiest way is to lossen the bolt at the end of the exposed belt. Slowly let a little length of belt retract, and then slowly pull it out again. I think the locking mechanism is only just locked and there is no free play to loosen it. But if the belt is really stuck, where by you cannot pull or retract it, where the belt is not at it's usual rest position. Then th locking mechanism is stuck. That you have to remove the plastic panel near the belt area, see the photo above, and locate the spring recoil mechanism, and give it a few knocks. Not so difficult to remove the plastic panel.

WTF 4th Gear June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 My Altis rear seat belt was stuck after pulling out. Went back to BM and was told it was damaged and said it cost $600+ to replace. I screwed the guy and asked him to check that my ride is still under warranty so why I got to pay. He checked and then said no charge for me then but I need to wait abt 3-5 days for the part to arrive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5936 1st Gear June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 (edited) Remove one of the bolts to ease tension. Ops. I must say its mounting bolts onto anchor points. Edited June 30, 2012 by 5936 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 Mine is the other way round - pulled out and cannot retract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Track 2nd Gear June 30, 2012 Author Share June 30, 2012 Thks for all the advices. The belt is stuck in original position - taut, without any extension. Tried looking for assembly but cannot find it in boot. Belt goes into slot on back panel that holds rear speaker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear July 1, 2012 Share July 1, 2012 Thks for all the advices. The belt is stuck in original position - taut, without any extension. Tried looking for assembly but cannot find it in boot. Belt goes into slot on back panel that holds rear speaker. This is the easiest to solve. Just need to use a spanner to remove a single bolt that is holding on to the end of the exposed part of the seal belt. Once you remove the bolt, then allow the belt to retract a little, then you can pull put smoothly Liao. This bolt should be hidden under your rear seat. Most rear seat is just a padded foam. Just have to jerk it up with some strength and the entire rear seat can be removed. No need to remove back panel! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like those hatchback where you can pull a lever or what to shift it. Not easy task bro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Track 2nd Gear July 1, 2012 Author Share July 1, 2012 Thks Simon and Passion for your help. I will see what I can do. Else need expert help from WS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVT Supercharged July 2, 2012 Share July 2, 2012 Y u need the rear seat belt for? juz leave it la.. Yalor, actually the rear seat belt not so important, cos the authority don't check it. The front seat belts are most important. Wait till you go servicing then repair it lor. Those doing accessories (install HU, speakers, etc) are the best guys to do this!

TVT Supercharged July 2, 2012 Share July 2, 2012 Agree with you on leaving it but still got quite some time before next seviving. Need the rear belt for kid on daily basis lah .... Yes, agreed also that its for safety purpose. This is especially if going on long road trips on Malaysia's NSH. In the meantime, could put the kid in the front seat first...
