Is the belt wrapped around the lever to adjust the seat?
Try sliding the seat to get some slack.
He may have it in ALR mode. That is when you pull it allthe way out, and then it ratchets it's way back in until it is all the way in. Then it reverts back to pulling out and going in w/o ratcheting.
This is to lock a child seat in.
So, you need to get it in all the way somehow.

forgot to ask, 3rd row?
The ALR portion of this system does not allow the occupant freedom of movement. The ALR mode is used when locking a child seat in an outboard seating position or when a tight belt fit is desired. The ALR mode is disengaged when the webbing is free to move in or out of the retractor. The ALR mode is automatically engaged when the webbing is fully extracted from the retractor and then allowed to retract. As the webbing is retracted back into the spool, an audible clicking is made indicating that the retractor is in ALR mode. The ALR mode is automatically disengaged when most of the webbing is retracted back into the spool.

We have a 1997 Mercury Villager. I don't know how different it is from ours. We cannot remove the back seat. We can remove the middle seat and slide the back seat forward. I hope this helps.

Yes, but you need lots of skill and body tools to permanantly repair that. This is caused by owners not knowing that there are tiny drain holes in the bottom of the doors, that get clogged up with dirt. If a person just checked and cleaned them out once a year, with a pipe cleaner.......this would never have happened
