Seatbelts snagging and locking on the way out

[stephentoddnissan]

I have a 1994 4.2Ti GQ Patrol in which the right hand side rear seatbelt is very quick to lock on the way out. A release then re-pull sometimes works but other times it repeatedly locks. The Ti has a built-in fridge and rear air con which makes removing the right hand side seatbelt a bit of a session as it would appear that even the fridge has to be removed to get the assembly out! As the anchor bolt moves out it presses against the rear air-con pipes even when they are loosened from the fridge case.

 

Anybody know any tricks to getting a seatbelt to behave itself or would I be better replacing it with a new/secondhand part?

I'd caution with second hand seatbelt as you wouldn't know where it has been make sure you give it a good visual. As for tips what to do, I'm not sure, never had these kind of seatbelts apart before.

I'm pretty sure Mr Nissan is going to slug you with a pretty penny.

Cheers

Yeah ... nissan seat belts are a concern.  Mine suck as well.  Replacement is the best option.  Check this mob out.
