Hi folks..
As per the title, I have an 04 Expedition Eddie Bauer and the seat belt center/middle seat in the 2nd row is stuck.
What do I mean by stuck? I mean it's fully retracted and will not come out at all. When I bought it, it came out. When I got my inspection sticker in MA 2 days after buying it, it was stuck and failed, two days later it came out and was moving like butter. Since then (coming up on 1 year) it hasn't moved.
It's the style that is built into the center seat. (see attached image [not mine...found on ebay])
It's pretty tight, there is hardly any slack for me to grab onto to try to push and pull the seatbelt from the top (it's built into the seat).I've tried folding and unfolding the seats a few time (that's another challenge.. it gets stuck folded sometimes) but it won't budge.
In MA any seat belts in the vehicle must work so next time I go for inspection this will need to work or I'll fail (or I remove it from truck?) but I would like to have a functioning seat belt.
Anyone have any tips on getting it unstuck? Or any known guides on disassembling this seat to access the belt mechanism?
Thanks in advance
