My drivers side belt used to this banghead , it would just lock up when trying to put it on and not release until you drove up a hill confused

A sharp whack with a smash last year and it's been fine ever since.

Make sure the actual real behind the seat has not gone cockeyed and is level. Mine is very sensitive and if it is not level it can stick like yours.

I have had a similar problem from new; if the car is on slightly more of a sideways slant than it likes, it is near impossible.

Get the car flat(ish)/level, and it's fine.

Mine was sticking when I bought the car a few months ago. Gave it a good thump and its been fine since.

Maybe mine were installed crooked at the factory. I best go look.
I would swear they told me "TVRs do that"

pull on the belt if it locks then try moving the reel it worked on mine.
