My son inserted the drivers seat belt clip into the rear seat buckle. It is stuck big time. Any one have any ideas?

I believe I've read this type of problem before, and they had to take it to the dealership to have them fix it, because it's impossible to fix without opening the piece up and replacing the..uhh..."clipper" thingy.

I'll search and see if I can find it.

*EDIT* Try this.

I've read about this problem before. There is certainly knowledge regarding this issue somewhere in the forum.

I consider this to be one of the *problem*

yeah I understand that we're not suppose to use the front belt for the rear lock. but how can it even gets *stuck* in the first place ? maybe make the front bucket bigger so it will not fit the rear lock no matter how many times u try ?

sheesh Mazda !

happened to me too... i broke mine back buckle apart (destroying it) got the front buckle out, and ordered a new back buckle from www.onlinemazdaparts.com for like $19.00.

Thanks to all you guys. I fixed it this morning. I used the original buckle, easy just had to take my time.

My 8 year old says thanks also.

Just make sure your kid knows that if it happens again, it's coming out of their pocket :P
