    Where are you? Sure someone could assist...

    Quick fit flutter eyes..

    Or twist over a 30 span and slide the belt twisting it back...

    Try to fold the actual belt over itself inside the slot on the buckle/clip. It's hard to try and explain in words but it is very easy to do.
    lol
    I had to do it on my first car many moons ago.
    I've had my small plastic clip thing missing for a few years now and it's something that I can easily live without.

    No probs Tray.

    As the others will confirm I'm rarely useful so I was very glad to be of some use to you on this occasion.

    No, I can't really be trusted with repair advice. If it goes wrong it's the bloke on YouTube's fault.
