I had the same problem with the passenger side of the car. I solved it by removing the B-post panel to get at the mechanism. I found that (in mine at least) the mech had rotated and was not perfectly, vertically aligned the way it should be. I twisted it back and the seat bealt has been fine since.

Pop the b-post panel off and have a good look at it. You may find it can be repaired on its own. if you haven't already done so, i suggest you "apply" to get access to the manuals by clicking on the Manuals link at the top of the page. I think there's some seatbelt info in one of them.
