Pisces69 6th Gear December 20, 2013 Share December 20, 2013 (edited) 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. $600 to replace a seat belt? Altis seat belt made of gold issit? Thks Simon and Passion for your help. I will see what I can do. Else need expert help from WS. Most Jap cars seat belt is made by Takada IIRC. See if u can get a replacement from them. Sud b much cheaper than AD. One post said BM charge $600 for Altis seatbelt. Maybe u can order on-line from Takada Japan? Or try those scrapyards if ty have. Sorry to dig up an old thread...but my Altis has the same exact problem. :( Wonder how TS resolved the issue. Some simple DIY possible? Or get it done over at a workshop? Once the mechenism is faulty, I wud think better to change else it wil give trouble from time to time. Maybe u can try to get a 2nd hand piece from those scrapyards.

Zensushi 1st Gear June 9, 2014 Share June 9, 2014 Finally got it fixed at a workshop at Ubi! The mechanic disassembled the rear seats to check on the mechanism. Part of the seat belt was folded, causing the jam. Very reasonable charge for the service, too! :Þ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zmasheroo Neutral Newbie March 4, 2015 Share March 4, 2015 Hi all. Just found on YouTube quite a few videos on how to change a seat belt yourself. Just thought I'd share. Just search "seat belt replacement". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

julianaray April 18, 2018 Share April 18, 2018 A jammed seatbelt jam is often caused by one of two factors: 1. Dirt and grime is on the fabric of the seatbelt causing it to retract slower than normal 2. The retractor itself is locked. Cleaning is the solution to dirt and grime. Retract your seatbelt until no slack remains. Next, take a vise grip or some form of a clamp and attach it to where the retractor feeds out the webbing. This will keep the seat belt from retracting back into the mechanism. Apply a spray-on cleaner (a carpet- or fabric-cleaning product is often effective) or use hot water and laundry detergent. Brush it clean. If needed, try soaking as much of the belt that you can place in a bucket of soapy water. Give it ample time to dry. To fix a locked retractor, pull the fabric of the seatbelt as tight as you can and then give it one more yank to undo the locked belt. If this does not work, you will need to take the retractor out of your vehicle and use a screwdriver to manually spin the spool, causing the seat belt to slowly retract back into the seat belt mechanism. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
