Title: Rear Center Seatbelt sticking
Post by: wakeyomega on 03 June 2013, 16:43:59

Thanks to Ex Taxi AL for his 'how to' to remove examine etc. the centre rear seatbelt mechanism. http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90672.0 (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90672.0) Made it much easier for me to tackle this in a hurry. All sorted now, following an MOT failure.

Al, you may want to add a sentence at the beginning saying "the problem may be due to the cable interlock, rather than the mechanism, if so try some spray white lithium grease down the button that releases the seat back and around the seat back lock area" as this was the problem in my case. I removed the seatbelt mechanism and checked it all out but to no avail, I then realised the button on the seat back wasn't returning fully, and therefore, wasn't pulling the interlock cable fully back.

Thanks again, Pat

(BTW, if you only want to check out the mechanism, you don't really need to remove the seat fob and retaining bolt, as you can work on it in situ)

Glad to be of assistance :y

Oddly enough, I had a similar Mot issue, hence the guide ;)

I dismantled the dead mechanism off the car out of curiosity. Quite a clever contraption...

In my defence, M'lud

a) Ex taxi Al had actually put it in a maintenance guide  :y, which was the first place I looked.

b) I don't think I would ever have tried a search for 'Selt belt'  ;)

I rest my butt case
