Kombi 2 + 1 rear centre seat belt jammed.

Hi Guys, new to the forum and wanting some help. I removed the rear seats in my kombi and when I put them back in, the centre seat belt is jammed tight. Any suggestions or will it require replacing?
Thanks..

Good evening and welcome.
Quite often it's the inertia reel locking while the seat back is folded and the belt has retracted a little. When the seat back is raised it pulls the belt so tight that it cannot release itself in the normal way. It's not usually a regular problem but it certainly happens.
Fold the seat again and make sure that the belt has released.

It happens regularly on mine, as said just fold the seat to take the tension off the belt and release it.

This happened on my Kombi, and i had no other option than to unbolt the seatbelt retractor from the back of the seat. Only slightly, to get it to move a few inches.
Its been fine ever since, so just unlucky.
