Hello,
I have a 1994 Ranger Extended cab and I'm having issues with the passenger side seat belt. A couple of my buddies are fairly big dudes and they're complaining that the passenger side belt doesn't extend all the way. My question is a) What might be wrong with the belt and b) How do I get to the seat belt assembly to check it out. It is the two door and does not have the pop out rear windows. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Art.

If the belt comes out at all and goes the whole way back the odds are really bad that it is not coming out as far as it goes.

Rangers are small, and the belts aren't as long as on some newer vehicles. I'd say the odds are a lot better that your friends are just too fat.

But you can pull the screws out of the B-pillar trim and move it out at the bottom just to inspect.

Thanks, I guess that's what I'm gonna do and figure out if it needs to be fixed, or if I am going to have to purchase one of those seat belt extenders that people keep talking about.
