The latch on my 91 2.0 SI was damaged by a burgler . the metal around
the latch was badly torn up. I purchased a new latch, took the liner off the door, took the door off the car and brought it to my welder.
he did a great job restoring the latch slot and the three mounting holes.
I installed the new latch and connected it to the inside,outside handles and
key lock. Here's the problem. the welder unbolted the seat belt mounting
bracket from door frame and let it wind itself into the upper seat belt reel,
to avoid burning the belt with his welding torch. Now I can't pull the seat
belt off the reel to pull it up to the place where it was bolted the door
frame. Its jammed ! How do i release the tension so I can unwind the belt ?
If anyone knows it would be a big help.
Thanks
