what is a "T-50 seat belt anchor?" I'm assuming that is the mechanism (the heart of the problem).

 

So I pulled the crap out of it. my entire body weight, quick snap and slow heavy as well as tried to real back as much slack in it. Tried slow and easy as well. No luck. There isn't much slack to start with so can't reallly truly push much back in..

 

T = Torx head; 50 = size of Torx head.

 

Start shopping for a new retractor. Also buy a new Torx mounting bolt....once removed you're supposed to replace. The old one will work, but it's recommended to install a new one. Don't just buy something that 'fits', get the proper bolt. Read the URL below. G.L.!

I found that a set of panel tools is invaluable for removing interior (and even some exterior) panels/parts.

 

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to thank you all for your contributions and advice. I used all of your help and successfully pulled off the trim (thanks Hummerz) and used a panel pulling tool I got that worked well (broke two plugs though) and then ordered a new seatbelt which I will be able to easily install when I get it. Thank you!!!!!

 

I bought a 2010 Luxury with Adventure package. I hear a bang in the rear when I hit a big bump or pothole. I have a spare tire with a hard plastic cover, that has a chrome band holding it on. I tightened the jack and checked to see if spare tire is tight. I jumped up and down on the back, but it didn’t make the bang. Any ideas?

 

Easy to find, doing an elimination process, start by removing spare, then recheck for noise over bumps.

 

Ok, thanks

You should check the jack access area, storage cubby and any other items the previous owner might have stashed in the rear door jack access (ex. jumper cables).
