Default Seatbelt Jam

Any help very much appreciated.

My seatbelt sometimes locks up too much, last night to the point where I couldn't get it on at all, so I had to bust the mechanism at the base of the seatbelt so I could at least wear it and not get booked.

I pulled off a plastic cover, underneath which seemed to be the locking mechanism. A ball bearing and a white tadpole-shaped piece of plastic fell out. Without that, the seatbelt won't lock up at all and is therefore useless in the event of a crash.


Thanks!

Brady, maybe add your vehicle details to your signature from the user control panel so people know what vehicle you have and save the guess work when giving advice.
