The nylon belt material and buckle are extremely rugged and can withstand a lot of force. Whatever is holding the clip into the buckle will likely "gut unstuck" long before the belt or buckle break.



Therefore, if I were you, the first thing I'd do is, while keeping the release button fully depressed with your finger or something that is say taped into place, pull on the belt like HeII.

 

Thank you for the reply. I have just tried this with a colleague and gave it a massive yank but it still appears stuck. On closer inspection, it actually looks like the belt locking mechanism has been engaged. However, the button won't go push down either, or very little, as if something is stopping it being pushed.

It looks like it needs to be opened to release it.

Wish I could find a diagram of how it works, to get an understanding of the mechanism.

 

Interesting.

Can you post a high-resolution photo that shows how deeply the clip is pushed into the buckle-receptacle? If you do that, I'll take a close look at our vehicle's clips and receptacles to imagine what might be going on.

 

 

We had the same problem.

I pushed a really thin knife between the metal buckle and the red button an it just popped out.

 

My seatbelt is stuck also. Help! I have 2 kids that I need seatbelts for ASAP.
