Seat-belt extending arm
Hi all
I have sourced a seat-belt extending arm to replace the one that is broken and I am not sure about the procedure in order to remove the plastic trim that covers the mecanism

Re: Seat-belt extending arm
The round button above the arm is a cap covering a screw. Remove both, then pull first the top then the bottom of the cover to remove it.
There is a very useful interior manual you can download - if you cant find it I'll see if I can and send you the link.

Re: Seat-belt extending arm
Just perfect. I don't have the correct size square key to remove the extending arm
Would you happen to know its size?

Re: Seat-belt extending arm
I have bought an 8 mm hex key (to fit a 1/4" socket wrench) just for this purpose You need to apply quite a lot of force to get it loose.

Re: Seat-belt extending arm
Skip has developed a permanent knocking on the passenger side towards the rear. Quite similar to the exhaust against the chassis but when I shake it by hands it does not seem to touch anything.
Changed the wipers as well for some swanky Bosch ones
Only had a cursory look as I am off tomorrow again but I will need to get to the bottom of it.

Re: Seat-belt extending arm
the exhasut IS very close as it passes over the rear beam, and a 1/4" gap can easily be taken up as the car jiggles around.
OR it can be the drop links on anti roll bar, easy to replace or final option is front bush on trailing arm (or maybe the ARB bush on rear beam )

Re: Seat-belt extending arm
That is a very exhaustive list and I will check all that upon my return.
Having said that, my flight just got cancelled (thank you BA) so I am stranded in London tonight
