    Hi all. I recently purchased a used 2008 Toyota Prius and the back left seat belt is stuck. In other words, if you try to pull the seat belt out it comes no more than a nudge. Is there any way to fix this myself or do I have to take it in somewhere?

    Thanks,
    Ben

    Well, if you are able to remove the trim which hides the mounting hardware then you could replace the seat belt assembly yourself assuming you have the necessary metric tools.

    Can anyone give me instructions on how to remove the trim on the 2008 Prius?
