    Rear Seat Belt stuck in

    I can't pull out the rear passenger side seat belt! ...no matter how much I give it a jiggle to try to release it - proper stuck!

    Anyone had to replace/fix a rear seat belt?

    I had to have one replaced on my touareg....not because it would not come out, it would not go back in.

    My D4 belts can also be slow to retract....my old GU was the same.

    Maybe you need to try and get to it, and see if you can open it up and clean it out. Then you can tell us all how to do it, when it happens to us

    you need to remove the back off the seat remove the lower bolt and let retract some. The button which stops the buckle dropping down is probably stuck behind the slot where the belt goes in as the escutcheon is cracked.

    It's in a service bulletin but unless you have a good yell at the dealer about their lack of follow up service in front of people buying new cars good luck in getting them to do anything about it now.

    EDIT: sorry just realised you have a d3etc not D2, instructions are for a 2 but might be the same. Sorry.

    Belt folded?

    I assume rear seat means where the two little seats are in the seven seater?

    If so, I had the stuck belt problem on one side where I determined that the belt had probably folded over on itself when it retracted. I did have about an inch of belt movement however. This was awhile ago, however I recall that somehow I determined which way the belt was folded and introduced the reverse of the fold back down into the retractor area.

    Actually it seems to me I guessed wrong the first time but I was able to detect that the hidden part of the belt was even more tangled. Once I got it right, the belt sort of untangled within just by pulling and releasing the inch back and forth.

    I recall the hard part was introducing the new fold back thru that top slide - how the child in the back seat managed it the first time, I am unclear - the genius of the young mind and a hundred miles I presume.
