How do you get a seat belt unstuck?

My seat belt is stuck and I don’t know how to fix it myself. I’ve tried, but nothing has worked. How do you get a seat belt unstuck?

Payton Ternus · Updated on Feb 23, 2022

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

I’m sorry to hear about your seat belt, but hopefully, you can get it fixed after this!

Having a

is great but there are definitely certain annoyances that come with them, including problems with seatbelts.

If your seatbelt is stuck, follow these simple steps to get it unstuck:

Pull on the seat belt to release the auto-lock. Pull it away from the seat, and gradually let it go back into the seat. If the belt doesn’t snap into place, it might be tangled or twisted.

Take off the plastic cover holding the seat belt mechanism to expose the belt loop and hardware.

Pull out the seat belt completely to expose kinks, tangles, or objects jammed inside.

Untangle the belt or remove any stuck objects. Let the belt go back into place and test it for proper operation.

If your seat belt still has issues after these steps, take your car to a shop.
