Hello,
I have an 1988 XJS H.E. convertible that the drivers side seat belt is stuck fully retracted. I have tried pulling it out hard. Pressing the brakes hard while stopping. I have searched the internet without luck. I have looked into seeing how to remove the seat belt but it looks pretty difficult to remove and I cannot even find a procedure to do that. Does anyone have any ideas on how to repair this issue?
Thank you.

 

You have to remove the trim covering the reel and get at it.

 

Yup

 

Is there a procedure listed somewhere how to do this? It looks like you need to take the whole section behind the seats to do this.
Thank you for the responses.

 

There is somewhere between 3 and 5 screws that need be removed. Then, pull it out.
