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.
