Default seat belt

I have a problem with my 2005 caravan drivers side seat belt, it hooks up properly but it takes about 30 seconds of struggling with it to unlock, do I need a new belt, a new receiver or is there a way to fix this.

It would be impossible for any coin to fall into that slot.

DIMES fit perfectly in that slot. If I had a nickel for every one I've pulled out...


The lock mechanism is probably bent or something. Get a new buckle.


Now is also the time to recognize that you need to keep a device in your glove box that can CUT a seat belt and break a window in an emergency.

Default Wd 40

Have you tried spraying some WD40 In the latch, that's what it's for.
