E46 Coupe - Twisted rear centre seatbelt.

[KP]

Hi,

The rear centre seat belt on my coupe is twisted and I can't seem to untwist it.

I have tried folding the belt and trying to pull the buckle through but this has not worked.

I think the belt may have been removed and re-fixed in a twisted state.

Does anyone know how to get to the bottom seat belt fixing bolt? I have tried folding the rear seats but cannot see any fixings.

Any advice appreciated!

Cheers,

Remove the seat base by pull upwards.

Pull upwards on the front of the base, roughly in line with each front seat and then out.
Is it a lap belt or three pointer? If a three pointer you should be able to sort it by pulling the belt all the way out then turning it

Its a three pointer.

Will give this a go tonight.

Think my patience was tested last night by the cold!

Think the rear bench might have to come out as there is no clearance between the bottom of the belt and the junction between the seat back and bench to allow you to twist the belt.

So lift the rear bench out. No nasty plastic fixing clips etc to be broken?

Just got home and pulled the rear seat bench out.

Worked a treat - the bottom part of the belt clips into a clasp.

Belt just needed twisting back.

Thanks all,
