Hello, There are some posts here and elsewhere about stuck rear seat
belts, after the seat has been down to allow cargo. As advised in
these messages, I unbolted the seatbelt from the floor, which allowed
the seat back to flip back up to normal position (it was prevented
from doing this by the stuck belt). Once up, the seat belt retractor
frees up, but the belt still doesn't come out, maybe because the
plastic stop thingie has landed inside the retractor? So in the other
messages the problem was solved at this stage, while I still can't get
the belt to come out. Any and all help is much appreciated!

It sounds like the small button stop has become stuck under the plastic
trim very gently try & raise the trim until you are able to remove from
the trim

Thanks for the replies. The plastic cover was already broken, from
lowering and rising the seat too often. So I think that the plastic
stop has gone further down into the mechanis. I may need to find a
star tool to remove the two big screws and take a look.
