What can I do to fix my seatbelt?

My driver's seatbelt will not release from the roof unless I pull on it a certain way. Since nobody offers new seatbelts, anyone want to offer some pointers on getting it to operate properly??

Re: What can I do to fix my seatbelt?

I searched earlier and only found issues relating to the clock spring. My issue seems to stem from the inertia lock. Regardless, I'm going to pull it open tomorrow and take a look inside. I have another one I can use if I mess something up.

Thanks for the help though.

I honestly feel retarded. I had the roof retractor installed backwards.

Nothing like finding the problem yourself is there. Especially when you caused it in the first place. Lol Good job
