    Take it out so you can get a bit more slack .

    I'm not sure I can take belt out as it is in the middle of the back seat that folds over - I will try tonight - but seems really closed and unable to get in to remove the bolts.

    Had the same problem with the middle rear seat belt because of lack of use,NCT tester was going to fail the car but said he,d give me 10 mins to try to get it working.I grabbed the belt and gave it a few tugs at all differant angles some easy some harder and i started to get a bit of free play, it started to release a short bit so i let it retract and then slowly pulled it out a good bit and gave it a few sharp hard tugs.Slowly let it retract and stopped every few inches giving it a few good snappy tugs and was fine after that and passed the NCT,hope that helps ..

    You need to release the back of the seat (as if you wanted to fold it flat) and then close it with a nice sharp shove. The impact should release the belt. Its a built in safety mechanism in the seat.
