Default How to remove seat?

I'm about to remove my seats to recover them, but HOW do you get the seat belt to back out through the slot? Its really the plastic T shaped retainer thing that I can't get through...

Hi mss,
People often ask this question.
You can put the 'web stop' in a pan of very hot water to soften it enough to slip it off the end of the belt, and then again when you're finished with the seat cover and need to slip it back on.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

Sound advice. But I'm not that patient. I heated them with a hair dryer for a while. They softened but didn't look like they'd ever slide off. So I cut them off! Hope the repros are good...
