seat belt retractor access

Post by jailbird »

New guy here again,
I'm starting to work out the few flaws that the car has.
One is the seat belt retractor on the right side.
The belt is all the way out and stuck.
How do I gain access to the retractor???
It looks like a lot of disassembly of the rear deck area?

Can anyone help?

Same problem on both sides. Haven't fixed yet.

Here are directions from Hank's site. Not very detailed, but getting out the rear deck shouldn't be too tough. I had mine part way out to install an alarm. There are a bunch of phillips screws along the bottom if I recall correctly.

I have rear seatbelt retractors if you need some. They are like brand new. Let me know what color if you need some.

50dan What color do you have? I need a tan right side. Does it come with that little cable that sticks out of the door.

My interior is Regatta Blue.
I will attempt to open it up tomorrow and see if I need new ones.
What's the price of the replacements?

seat belt retractor cable

Post by jailbird »

I got the retractor out.
The retractor seems to be fine.
The door cable is broken.
It prevents the retractor from releasing its lock mechanism.
I need the cable but will buy the whole assy. if necessary.
Color not important.
I will figure out how to change the belt.
Thanks,
Tom Hathaway
