Any advice on gaining access to rear center seat belt reel, it has extended and jammed. I would prefer to look at this myself rather than go to dealer. I do not want to damage the cover.

Try unlocking the centre seat the give it a good slam a few times back in to the locking position, ours did this the other day and this cured it.

I am afraid its at the end of travel, cannot budge it.

Ours was jammed solid end of travel, and i just pulled on belt and banged seat a few times and it sprung back.

I do not understand what banging on the seat can do as the reel assembly is mounted in the roof.

It was the only way i could dislodge it without fiscally hitting it with a hammer lol
If you bang the seat hard enough under the rear belt mounted in the roof the shock may dislodge it!
Only trying to help as this worked on ours.

Thanks but the problem is at the reel in the roof, nowhere near the seat.
