seatbelt emergency release while cleaning

Post by darrylrobert »

i am cleaning up my front seat belts something i do with all my cars, seeing a bucket of soapy water turn brown is very rewarding and the belts are now softer and shine. Anyway i discovered that the belt anchor actually unclips by pressing a small pin, looks like some sort of emergency safety thing? DO NOT pull the metal back because its not spring steel.

Indeed in Volvo’s since 1999, inclusive.

Known here as the Showell clip for its founder and documenteri

WARNING

you have to confirm visually that it is fully engaged when reinstalling. If you just push it in , it can look fine and not be anchored.
