Trim around seatbelt on pillar

[rossyl]

A back seat passenger it appears held onto the trim around the seatbelt far too heavily when getting in/out of the car. The result is that they've pulled this bit of trim off.

I've tried a bit if force but it does not seem to be clicking back into place.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ross,
Which bit of trim, where the belt goes in to the centre pillar for the front seats, or the back seat side pillar..??
Cheers

Its the seatbelt for the front seat. So the centre pillar.

Thanks

It's clipped on at the top, and screwed at the bottom. The clips can be a bit stiff, and of course, it may be broken

It is only "undone" at the top. I'm not sure if the clip(s) are broken, or if I cannot get the right anggle to clip it back in.

Do you know if you have to clip the top in first, and then the bottom? Or should it not matter and should I just give it another go?

Should be able to clip it straight back. I know this as I had the top part unclipped on mine when I installed the Parrot. You need to get to the screw underneath to get the a pillar trim off.

Sounds like the clip may be a bit knackered.

Use gentle finger movements, it's Italian, then the all imporatnt main push, it should work..!!

If I listen carefully, I can hear the tone of this conversation dropping like a stone

As I said you need to get the angle right in order to get it in. I'll take Robert's advice and use my fingers this time to guide it in.
