Question Untangling the Seatbelt anyone?

I don't know how I did it, but I tangled up the seatbelt to the point where it won't retract anymore. Is there a secret to untangle the seatbelt in the Z? Thanks for any insight.

Can you provide a pic so we can get a better idea of where the twist is at and how?

Does the seatbelt feel grimy too? Reason for asking if it's a bit grimy will obviously tangle up easier. Try some Meguiar's Carpet Cleaner, can be used on seat belts as well, will them up a treat.

You are going to need to let some webbing go in for about a half inch before you pull it out some more.

I should have added if you clean the seat belts, don't forget, DON'T let them retract until they are dry!!!
