Can somebody explain that??? Are you sure it was a light collision? It doesn't make sense that the airbag has deployed if it was only a minor collision. If I'm correct your car has automatic belt tensioners which are almost sure to have worked if the airbag has also deployed. Because these tensioners work one time only and are likely the cause of the blocked belts, I'm afraid you are going to have to completely exchange your seatbelts. Mark
