Estima Middle Row Seatbelt Jammed

[Nath2k1]

Hi Everyone, 

I have a 2006 Estima G and the middle row seatbelt has locked all the way out and will not retract. As the retractor is inside the backrest of seat its not like the front ones with an easy panel removal to get to it.

Does anyone know how to get to the retractor or how to get this fixed?

Thanks

I have the Tarago of the same generation.  I can only suggest popping up the plastic seatbelt guide where the seat belt comes out of the seat shoulder, and seeing how much access to the seat interior you have.  I remember having an issue with that seat belt where it got stuck because of the seatbelt guide.

OP Nath2k1 did you have any luck getting the seatbelt to work? I have the same problem.

I have the same issue with both middle seats on my Estima - they lock from where the car seats have pulled the belt out to fit. I’m trying to fix mine - any suggestions?
