In my 90 SEC the retractor is just behind the rear seat back cushion. 
Just lift the back cushion out, (literally with one hand on the bottom 
of the cushion and it simply lifts straight up to be released from two 
"L" or "J" shaped brackets) and fold back the insulation in the upper 
outside corner and you will see the retractor right there in the upper 
corner. It will take you longer to get in the back seat than to remove 
the seat cushion. Easy replacement as well just place seat in position 
about 2 inches higher and slide into place with a slight smack of your 
hand. I love the  way these cars are put together. Good luck.
