Honda Civic Seat belt Repair After Wreck

The video is to help illustrate a locked seatbelt repair (Not to OEM specs) for a 2006-2011 Honda Civic. This is a continuation of a repair video posted by another member.
Must read: The OEM designed the seatbelt to jam during an accident. After the following repair is performed, the seatbelt will still lock but no longer have the mechanism to jam. If you wish to return your vehicle back to OEM spec you must purchase a new seatbelt.
I hope this helps!

Although this video answered some questions it is lacking technically. 1. Did not call out the tools needed to remove the coil spring case (Metric T10 star wrench) or the pin housing from the belt frame (Metric Allen wrench). 2. Finally when unwinding the coil spring case, count the turns needed to relieve the spring tension and re- assemble with the same no. of turns.

The first video (which you point to in the comments) had a retractor where the only problem was in the mechanism that locks when the belt is pulled out too fast. Once that mechanism was reset, his retractor operated normally. If his retractor included a seat belt locking mechanism, it must not have triggered. So his seat belt may be fully back to normal. In your retractor, the mechanical fast-pull locking mechanism was not the only problem - you had a belt locking mechanism trigger, and that used the metal pins to jam the belt reel. You simply removed the pins, without replacing them or making any other repairs to the mechanism, so the belt locking feature will no longer operate in any future crash. You may be willing to make this tradeoff for yourself, but if you ever sell the car I hope you tell the new owner that the driver's seat belt is not fully functional any more. Other people with the same problem, who are watching this video, should be aware that this does not seem to be a full repair - it just removes a portion of the mechanism.

Thank you so much, this worked just fine with my honda civic 2008 after the airbag was deployed and the belt was stuck due to the pins you mentioned.

[@dappawap]

I hope you read some of these comments. He took out the bearing from the main part of the locking system. There are so many parts for Hondas...

[@user-dj5hi3my6p]

this video was helpful .....both belts are now working ....thanks

[@xXx999430]

Excellent video

[@jonathanflagomarsino7296]

Really good video

[@raulchuela434]

I bought both of my front seat bealts for a 2018 honda civic because i was told that i needed to replace them now as i tried to install my self the seat belt locked and couldnt bolt it back on cause the seat belt was to short what can i do in this case ?

[@tonatihuesquivel1756]

Wat happens if u accidentally opens that cover open?

[@zfold2617]

My pins are pretty jammed in there, any tips on how to remove, also is there a video demonstrating this?

[@gabbycordell3259]

How do you remove the pins if they are jammed

[@wilhelmstraube5450]

I have this problem passenger seat honda civic 2003 locked from accident, so the electric plug is not or is it suppose to get power or either way that is not it or will it work, or should I follow your advice video?????

[@Myketing]

Could you put the link of the other video you were talking about?

[@ahmedibrahimbabikirmohamed3690]

Thanks

[@money58610]

What happened to the pins. Do you need to put them back ?

[@caze_shark1331]

Mine doesnt have the other side

[@dappawap]

step 1 should have been disconnect battery to lessen the chance of setting off igniting the charge while unplugging it and also to keep srs light from coming on The ball bearing must go back in for locking mechanism to work. I did not see this clearly in video. Maybe the belt will tighten from the explosive charge by the srs system...maybe.......that is a big maybe ...

[@sherwinjoseph7497]

Worked

[@krystal8843]

Any experience fixing a 2016 seat belt? I followed all of the steps but it turns out that my seat has metal balls inside and not pins. Any suggestions on what I do with those?

[@OscarGutierrez-kb3fe]

Krystal, unfortunately, I don’t have any experience with a 2016 model.

[@marconator3896]

Great job Great video thanks

[@mami1124]

Bro where’s the other video

[@wildishvintage2826]

can you show how you remove those little bolts please?

[@_eskee_7117]

Did you replace the pins after removing them ? I know you said they were bent ..

[@OscarGutierrez-kb3fe]

My situation was a result of a car accident. In my case, the pins are no longer reusable. The pins are ejected by the air bag system during an accident assisting the seatbelt mechanism to lock. My repair demonstration is to make the seat belt function without the OEM Airbag SRS operation. I hope this makes sense. Thanks for watching!

[@certifiedyouss]

doing it this way, would it be possible for the locking mechanism to work again if you had another accident/wreck ? if not it would be safer (and quicker) to just install a new seatbelt

[@milanalfonso4814]

i guess it's pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online?

[@rileykorbin5896]

@Milan Alfonso I watch on flixzone. You can find it by googling :)

[@baylorcrew7982]

@Riley Korbin yea, been watching on flixzone for years myself =)

[@milanalfonso4814]

@Riley Korbin Thank you, I went there and it seems to work :D Appreciate it !!

[@rileykorbin5896]

@Milan Alfonso glad I could help :D

[@donwilliams5336]

need seatbelt fix on chevy.four door pickup

[@Houstoncarshoppers]

Thanks but I just ordered a new one....

[@ed0306]

all the pins have to get back together on their proper place ?

[@OscarGutierrez-kb3fe]

Eddie Arellano, I removed all pins; My pins were damaged/bent. I hope this helps answer your question.

[@carlosguillen3653]

Yeah!!

[@_youngstajae]

Any idea how to get a 2003 acura tl seatbelt to work? Got one from the junkyard but its locked

[@dannyredmond5872]

[@JM-yx1lm]

T30

[@firo3533]

[@martinjimenezrivera4340]

what car is ????

[@OscarGutierrez-kb3fe]

I was working on a 2010 Honda Civic EX.

[@juliansalomon7062]

Don’t do this unless u want a useless seat belt if u orientate the device the way it’s belongs in the car it will release. This guy could easily be responsible for a seat belt failing and someone dying

[@dannydee9919]

Not his issue. No one is forcing anyone to do as the video. And who do you think you are? Telling people what to do? That's weird thinking that you can control others actions

[@JustxRageGaming15]

I’m using this video and this guy’s demonstration because I gotten in a wreck myself and this had happened…I rather wear my seatbelt then have a cop pull me over for not wearing one atleast until I can replace it with one that fully functions

[@Pain1x]

Replace the fuvkin thing friend of mine needs one dont think its a good idea to stop the functioning of the belt. The airbag without a seat belt literally breaks necks and kills people. 100% of the time. Go to the scrap yard.

[@xploited-lp9tz]

This guy has no clue what he's doing. This is a video nobody should take advice from.
