Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / January 200699 accent seatbelt latch
well our red button on our cars seatbelt latch will not pop back up on its own anymore, thought I was stuck in the car today =) It feels like it's sticking, is there anything i could use to free it up or you think i have to just replace the latch? > well our red button on our cars seatbelt latch will not pop back up on its > own anymore, thought I was stuck in the car today =) > It feels like it's sticking, is there anything i could use to free it up or > you think i have to just replace the latch? Take it out of the car and take it apart. One thing that can cause similar problems is if a coin falls into it. If that's not the case, it probably just needs some lubrication. Silicone spray lube should do the trick. hmmm only stuff i have on hand is white grease spray >> well our red button on our cars seatbelt latch will not pop back up on >> its own anymore, thought I was stuck in the car today =) [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > problems is if a coin falls into it.

So spend $3 on a can of silicone spray. that requires driving 2 hrs.. it can wait, still works i just have to pull the button up manually >> hmmm only stuff i have on hand is white grease spray >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > So spend $3 on a can of silicone spray. > that requires driving 2 hrs.. Two hours to any kind of a hardware store or a Wal-Mart, or an auto parts store, or even a grocery store that has a small hardware aisle? Where the heck do you live?

Local store doesnt carry silicone lube.... I usally go to Canadian Tire in Dryden, I dont go to Walmart unless I really have too. >> that requires driving 2 hrs.. > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> > >> > So spend $3 on a can of silicone spray. Actually, don't try to take it apart. It's not made to come apart, and you probably won't be able to get it to stay together properly once you've taken it apart. You can still try taking it off, looking down inside to see if there's something in there, and lubing it, but I think it's a bad idea to take it apart. i had to intentions of taking it appart, as you said you cannot take it appart. nothings fallen in it, no kids... i was thinking of taking it out and replacing it with a new used one... guess I have to remove he seat to do that huhh? theres a screw holding the trim on and its right against the center console > Actually, don't try to take it apart.

I should have been more specific. Once you get it unbolted from the floor, removing the covers should be enough disassembly to allow you to see if anything is stuck in it, broken, rusted, etc., and where you need to lube it. BTW, the reason I suggest silicone lube for the latch is that anything oily or greasy is likely to end up on you clothing unless you're really careful with the belt. > nothings fallen in it, no kids... I don't have any kids, either, but I've had a coin fall out of my hand at a drive-through and land in the seat belt latch. > i was thinking of taking it out and replacing it with a new used one... > guess I have to remove he seat to do that huhh? theres a screw holding the > trim on and its right against the center console It may require removing the seat, but in some cars you can access the bolt holding the seat belt latch by sliding the seat all the way forward. |
