AE86 seat belts...
I removed the seat belts some time ago...

Now I got one normal type of chair for my Wifey... And I also want to put the original seat belt back.

However... Both OEM seat belts are stuck... I managed to put in a screw driver without breaking anything and pulling the belt out...
But everytime it rolls back and gets really stuck!
I cant seem to get it to work properly.

Is there any trick to fix it?
I haven't done anything weird with it.

Thanks.

If it's not in the car you will have a hard time getting them unstuck.
They are designed to stay locked when they are not near their normal position (meaning you have to hold them just right, which is difficult).

I had 1 in the car - I installed it back it does not want to roll out.
I know there's a ball in there with gravity stuff I think but its not working.
Both are stuck... Sad

Dads Patrol has the same problem on pass-side seatbelt when the car is standing straight and level, both for getting seatbelt down and up, have to nap at it a few times for it to roll back up or down, in our case we just park it downhill/uphill so we can use it, NOW I know what the problem is! Thanks Tongue

My guess(es) on the problem is Belt-roller has to be repositioned or internal allignment is out of whack, will have a look at it tommorow.

I had a pair of USDM seatbelts with the exact same problem now that I think of it.. Must be some way to get them unstuck, but those hadnt been used in ages before the problem developed.

Just try installing it completely straight and if it doesnt work when the car is standing straight and level, try in uphill/downhill, something is out of whack in the mechanism and thats why its not rolling in or out.
