Oh man... that stinks. I'm thinking it might be better to grab a belt from a junk yard then? I remember having to fiddle with the tensioners when I installed my 3rd row seat in xc70 and let the belt retract "too far" into the reel. Then I had to disassemble like you and retension the spring and curse and swear about it for hours. I've found the website SafetyRestore as well.. I'm wondering if they have the capability to fix Volvo belts like this.darrylrobert wrote: ↑14 Jul 2020, 03:43 If the seatbelt sits loose on the passenger then yes its a safety issue.
There is no stitching to be removed, start from the bottom/ underneth then the side zipper and all will unfold and make sense. The recoil spring is quite tricky. theres a round aluminuim ring/key that is the trick to winding it up placing back onto the seatbelt. I used a small vice-grips to hold the key while turning the case.NOTE: it took me several attempt and alot of swearing to re-tension the spring and im not sure its working any better.
