Hey I have a 02 EX XLS, and I wanted 3rd row seating, so I found one of those cash for clunker cars, which happened to be a 02 mercury mountaneer with 3rd row seating. I checked the rear sear belts before I pulled them, but now installed on my EX, they won't extend. any ideas on how to release them? By the way, got the 2nd and 3rd rows plus all the interior pieces needed for $125, no tears, burns or stains. great deal.
