Hi all,
i have a 2010 Bentley Supersports, seems like it had a front right side accident 3 years ago. but my passenger side seat belt wont expand once the belt is clicked in, meaning they cant stretch the seat belt from the pillar, it stays locked. normally, if you suddenly pull the seat belt it locks, but in my case it always stays locked.

i'm thinking the tensioner should be replaced. does anyone have any thoughts on what can be the problem?
Hello @shorttough,
I understand you have a 2010, but please bear with me as I explain my thoughts with pictures for years 2003-11, from 2003 until some time in 2007 it appears the seat belt tensioners on the front seats had a cable driven apparatus that locked the tensioner, I have circled and outlined the cable on the rebuild of my 2005 seats pictures, I will check when I get home as to where and what the other end connects to for others with the 2003-07 setup, NOW, as to your 2010 seatbelt design I see no cable at all, but I see an electrical connection that has to do with the airbag and pre-tensioner system, the plug and electric cable are #27 in the diagram, if in-fact your vehicle had a right side impact, is it possible that a fault is still stored for said seatbelt tensioner, or that the airbag restraint system module located in the center console up under the infotainment head unit and buried under the HVAC ductwork was never repaired, or reset ?
So scan for any faults first, then I would unplug said cable to see if the tensioner stops behaving that way, what does it does right now if you latch it with no one in the seat, does it move freely then ?

The location of the tensioner in my vehicle seems like in the pillar. There is also a long bar that goes across on the super sports. Not sure how to remove the pieces to access the tensioner.

Oh, I see, when I clicked on your link it shows the other setup, like a 4 seater SS..
I would still check for fault codes, do you have a scanner, what does it do with no one in the seat when latched, does it pull freely ?
As far as removing the rear pole, never did one, but here are some instructions.
i had this issue when i bought my car used, the passenger belt would lock ,
after some research i was advised to press the button in the glovebox, been perfect ever since,
the button locks the belt should a child seat or other device is used on the seat, it prevents the belt from rolling and thus fixing the device in place
It's hard to tell from the picture, but I take it that it is a airbag off button for the front passenger seat, is that correct ?
The 2004-07's that I have seen, along with my GT do not have a button in the glove box, it has a key slot to turn the airbag off, but it does not seem to lock or unlock the seat belt in any way.
