2004 Crown Vic had right rear door replaced, they didn't hang hinges carefully and door wouldn't open easily. I unbolted the front seat belt pretensioner from the door post to access the lower hinge bolts and when I put everything back together the seat belt won't extend. Unbolting the pretensioner again allows it to retract even further but it won't extend.

Is there a quick fix or do I have to buy another pretensioner? And what to I do to keep from causing the same problem on the replacement?

I suspect it's not quite at the correct angle, so as you try to pull out the belt, you're not pulling it square, which is causing the pretensioner to latch and stop you pulling it at all - IIRC it doesn't need to be far off square for this to happen.
