How do you replace the rear seat belts on a Renault Laguna?

for Renault laguna 2 hatchback/estate (2001-2007 model)

tools needed: screw driver with torx 20 and torx 40 heads, a ratchet with 13mm and 18mm sockets or 13mm and 18mm spanners, small flathead screw driver.

first you will need to de-activate airbag system you can do this by disconnecting the battery negative terminal (need 13mm socket/spanner to do so) and removing the airbag fuse 5A (which is located in the passenger fusebox) and then wait at least 10 minutes before continuing any work! (be very carefull since you will be working near airbag it can cause serious injury if you are not carefull!!!) if you still feeling confident then you will have to remove the bottom part of the rear seat, then using an 18mm socket/spanner remove the bolt with the seatbelt attached then pull down the back part of the seat, now you have to remove the C-pillar trim, to do this u will need a torx 20 screw driver remove the the only screw (on estate model the torx screw hidden under a square plastic cover), open the boot and remove the rubber seal around the C pillar from the boot and the rear passenger door, and then u just have to pull off the plastic cover which is being held by plastic clips (dont be afraid to use force, but do not use any screw drivers to pull it off!! you could damage the airbag) after the plastic cover is off pull the carpet away, u might have to make a tiny cut to have better access to the seatbelt tensioner remove the connector using a small flathead screwdriver, using torx 40 remove the 2 bolts holding the seatbelt tensioner and lift it out, congratulations you have removed the seatbelt!

refitting is the reversal of removing!

good luck!
