I've got a screw loose

I've got a screw loose.

Have any of you ever experienced a loose screw on the seatbelt guide on an M seat? I've gone one that just spins -- can't remove it or tighten it. I'm guessing whatever it screws into inside the plastic seat back frame is loose. Am I going to have to take the seat apart to fix this?

I'm not sure there's anything behind it .
I could be wrong but I think it just screws into plastic.

Don' t we all

It may different on an M but my nonM seat belt guide inner structure is metal.
Trying putting pressure behind the guide with a putty knife and see if the screw will back out.
If it does try a slightly bigger screw or put a dab of RTV on the screw and wind it back in.

I don't think you want to take the seat apart unless you have a lot of time to waste and possibly not be happy with the results once put back together.
