How to take out the rear seat belt buckle?
2 Answers
Car rear seat buckles are located on the inner side of the seat, just press directly. They are hidden in the gap where the rear seat cushion and backrest meet, and need to be taken out.
Recently helped my neighbor's aunt with the rear seat belt buckle after her kid shoved a coin inside. Used the phone flashlight to check the small mechanism on the side of the buckle—the red plastic button. When pressing it with your thumb, use the pad of your thumb to press straight down vertically, not at an angle. While pressing, pull the metal tongue of the seat belt outward; if it feels stuck, release and try again. The plastic parts are too brittle to pry with fingernails—use a pen cap to gently push the button. If the buckle is trapped under the seat cushion, lift the cushion first, or the pulling force might crack the plastic base. Most importantly, remember the buckle's orientation when reinstalling—the metal tongue's groove must align with the buckle's protrusion. A 'click' sound confirms it's properly secured.
