How to release a jammed seatbelt on a Saab?

Had a SAAB with same problem, pull belt as hard as possible with one hand and hold, push seat back with thumb compressing seat cushion as much as possible. This should create a couple of inches between belt and cushion, slowly release belt and hopefully it should unlock and if you keep an inch of pace between seat and both should go back together.

How does a seatbelt work on a prefacelift?

Mine is the prefacelift (53 reg). The seat base is folded forwards, when the backrest is down and the double hinge pushed down to create a flat floor, the belt is bar tight. As it raises it goes slightly slack, and then as the headrest passes the raised base it goes tight again.

What kind of seatbelt is in Ford Fusion?

The bolt under the seat is a huge Torx which I’d need to buy, and its fiddly to get the socket onto anyway as there is no room with the seat down. So, any tips on getting it unstuck (without turning the car upside down or anything silly!) Its a Ford Fusion. I suspect the MOT man broke it yesterday, but then surely he would have just failed it.
