Default Seat Belt Stuck...Any Suggestions

Somehow my passenger side seat belt got wrapped around the outer seat rail. Before the belt got stuck it was protecting a box from moving all around the seat. Now it is stuck in the seat rail and I cant get it out. The seats cant be removed because the seat is all the way back on the sliders. I cant access the bolt. I unattached the glove box partially to see if I could reach my hand up in there and loosen it a bit. No luck. I am afraid I have only a few options left. Cut the belt and get a new one installed. Or take apart the hoop garnish, see if the belt can loosen up, then pay for a new garnish. Any suggestions? I know....this whole thing sounds freaky.

Is it stuck like how you get something caught in a zipper? If so, I would lube it up (not sure if WD40 ruins the fabric) and tug the hell out of it.

Sorta, but its also wrap around the lever that adjusts how far the seat can go forward or backwards. Right now the seat is all the way back which is restricting acess to the back bolts and the seatbelt bolt. AHHHHHHHHHH!

I'd swear I've seen this same problem discussed before (although it may not have been on this forum). In any case, do some searching; maybe there's a previous discussion with the answer. HPH

Someone had this problem about 6-8 mos ago. He eventually freed the belt w/o major surgery. Do a search.
