My center propeller(on my E320 4matic sedan) gave way when i was doing about 120km, made a thunderous sound, my seats tightened, the SRS and Check engine lights came on. I have been able to free the front seat belts but don't know how to get to the rear seat belt engine or should i say mechanism.Can anyone help?

The rear automatic belt retainer is behind the C pillar, however they are not like the front types---why do you want to remove---plus the airbags if you have them are in the rear doors

Pluto, thanks for your comment but if you read my post well you will notice i said that all my seat belts retracted when my center propeller came off at top speed. I have been able to free the front seat belts but not the back cos i don't know how or where the back seat belt re-tractors are. I don't want to remove them but to repair/release them as i did the front ones, as they are holding tightly to my back seats. I fear for my nice leather seats, that the belts could permanently injure the leather and it doesn't look

pulling out the rear seat is super easy and that will allow you access to the
center belts.

one paddle latch is located at the lower corners of the seat bottom. lift out seat.

to remove the seat back, there are about 3 bolts located at the bottom corners,
as well as one along the lower center. the seat back simply lifts up an inch or
so (to clear the hook/tabs) and out.

but as referenced by Plutoe, the side belts are behind the headliner/pillar. if
you head to benzworld.org and over to the 210 forum you should see how to
access this area under the DIY headliner remove/replace thread.

i've not done a seat belt retractor release so unable to give you any leads there.
