    I watched your video and then tried to put the seat belt into the buckle and pushed the red button down just like what you showed and this worked. It would not go in until I pushed the red button and wiggle the male end until all of a sudden it went in. Still did not work right. Then I sprayed WD40 and worked it in and out and then it started to work like new. Thank you this video saved me a big headache. I really did not think this would work. So much for thinking.

    Dude thank you so much.
    This literally saved me soooo much $$. I even took my car to the BMW dealership in Portland & they suggested “something might be stuck in there”
    They didn’t even suggest this simple super easy fix. Thank you sooo so much.
    I’ll actually feel safe driving my 🚗 now

    Thanks for the tip. Had to wiggle the end of the seat belt tip in and out and back and forth for about a minute and then BAM! FIXED. Thank you

    I’ve just fixed my wife’s car seat belt problem with your suggestion of wd40. I left it soak in for a couple of minutes and then waggled the inside of the buckle to free the catch and tried the seat belt again and by magic it clicked open! One happy wife again- happy wife = happy life 😀

    Thank you! I didn’t know why mines stopped working. Found a little small piece of food inside and after using a skinny metal piece I got it out and lubricated it with W-40 and it worked like new! Sometimes it’s the small things that make the biggest difference

    Fixed it because of your help. Had to use a paper clip to push the black plastic actuator you described to work the WD40 in but after a little time and effort, works again. Thanks!

    Worked for me on my 2007 4Runner! Although I did have a similar problem with one of the other seatbelts and that turned out to be a whole lot of dog hair and other crud had gotten inside and had to be cleaned out. Similar problems but different causes. Thanks for the good tip!

  • @Kwaq84
    @Kwaq84 2 роки тому +16

    Best lubricant for such mechanisms is a dry lube aka PTFE spray. It contains PTFE particles (teflon) mixed with propellant. When propellant evaporates it leaves invisible, dry reducing friction residue. It doesn't contain oils, therefore won't attract dust etc.
    Another lubricant would be silicone oil with PTFE, but this does leave oily residue, which may attract and accumulate dust and grime over time.
    WD40 do work, but I advise against it, as it contains mineral oil, which may damage some polymers (plactics or rubber). Silicone oil is safer for polymers.

    This worked for me as well. With the receptacle empty, there was a metal bar across the interior, as it would be when latched together. The oil frees up the interior sliding parts and in my case seemed to drag that crossbar back to its normal unlatched position out of sight. Many thanks!

    @songlover7112 4 місяці тому +1

    PLEASE HELP!! I'm having the same issue with my seatbelt (won't insert). I sprayed it with WD-40 several times, I pressed the red button several times so that the spray could reach all of the moving parts within the clicker, and I actually got it to work twice. Every time I un-click the seatbelt, I have to go through this process. Is this how it was for you, or is mine being more difficult than normal? What else should I do, without paying more than I have to fix it?

      Seat belts are super important that they are working right. This fix is if you have food and something simple. You may have a broken spring or something more serious.
      Mine was fixed and working perfectly after 1 spray. MRT
