Hi All,
I took out my seat belts when the car was getting painted. I am trying to put them back, but the belts won’t come out of the houses as if the interns is locking all the time. Any clues how to pull the belts out. All four are different as well which I thought was odd.
Regards
Richard

You need to get the belts bolted in, in the correct orientation that they were designed for, then SLOWLY pull the belt out. When fully retracted the spool is full and spins the centre too fast and locks. You need to SLOWLY pull out a foot or two and you will be fine. First couple of inches can be a pain.RTTBMW wrote: ↑Sat Jun 27, 2026 5:08 pmHi All,

Always used a PC on here, never had a problem other than when the site had problems. What problems are you having with a PC?

Strange, I can get on here and log in on a few different PCs and locations. Have you tried the usual things of deleting history and site cookies etc etc
Maybe ping Steve or Mart a pm to see if he can look at your account
Hope you get the belts out ok
