Steps
Release the rear seat and pillar trim
Lift the lower cushion from its retaining points and fold the seatbacks down. Remove the side cushion fasteners, then carefully release the C-pillar trim screws and clips.
Remove the parcel shelf
Remove the center buckle fastener and lift the belt and buckle clear. Release the parcel-shelf clips carefully so the trim can be moved without cracking it.
Remove the belt retractor
Unbolt the center belt retractor from its mounting point and guide the belt out through the shelf and pillar openings. Note its routing and orientation before removal.
Install the replacement belt
Position the new retractor in the original orientation and secure its mounting fastener to the vehicle specification. Route the belt through each original opening without twists or trapped edges.
Reinstall the parcel shelf and buckle
Feed the belt through the parcel shelf, seat the shelf clips, and reconnect the buckle at its original mount. Tighten its fastener to the vehicle specification.
Refit trim and check belt operation
Reinstall the pillar trim and side cushions, then lock the rear seat cushion into place. Pull and retract the belt several times and confirm it latches and retracts freely.
Check your vehicle’s repair manual for exact specifications and fit.
