seat belt on my rav 4

I could be wrong but I'm sure I have come across this before I,m sure if it's the rear buckle it's tucked away somewhere could be wrong though,I,m sure at some point this subject has been covered if I find out anything further I,ll let you know.

Hi Beth,

Welcome to the forum,sorry to see your Rav 4 has failed its test.

From what the test station is saying and a belt needs 2 buckles they mean the middle center belt at the back.

The only seat belt in the Rav to require 2 buckles is the middle rear.It sounds like this has not been used and is still tucked away.

You will find the hidden buckle one located between the 2 halves of the rear left seat and you may have to lift the fabric up a bit and feel around to locate it which is a small black buckle.

The video Simon(thanks Simon has put on will help

If you have time have a look for the buckle and get back to us if need more assistance.

Hi Beth

O.K.if the video will not play we will go to plan B lol

Here is a photo with the seat belt attached to the buckle we are looking for.
Once you have reached this point,pull the belt over towards the middle and fasten the belt into the other buckle.
You will now have a complete seat belt Beth.

Just doing what me and the other members like to do; and that's be helpful Beth.
But i think we must also thank you in given us the opportunity to solve your problem.

I think it's the buckle lost in the seat cushions,If the webbing is removed with its reel thats correct.

If the buckle is missing but the rest is there it's a fail.

I had exactly the same thing on a Daihatsu Terios this morning. Centre buckle hell hidden under the seat. Had to ask the owner to remove the child seat in order to get to it.
