I had to undo the seatbelts in my 88' to redo the headliner, and the same thing happened! It sucked! It took me about 45 minutes to figure out what was going on: The seat belts have a velocity 'sensor' in them. Basically a pendulum mechanism that only allows the belt to move freely when it is in the right position. If the pendulum is moved (ie, severe stopping, rollover,or removal, ect.) the mechanism locks into place. In order to make the belt 'loose' again you must hold the assembly in EXACTLY the same position that it sits when it is mounted. Which takes a little eyeing to do, however when it is in the right position, the belt will unroll very easily.
hope this helps,
Steve
