well our red button on our cars seatbelt latch will not pop back up on its
own anymore, thought I was stuck in the car today =)
It feels like it's sticking, is there anything i could use to free it up or
you think i have to just replace the latch?

Take it out of the car and take it apart. One thing that can cause
similar problems is if a coin falls into it. If that's not the case, it
probably just needs some lubrication. Silicone spray lube should do the
trick.

So spend $3 on a can of silicone spray.

Actually, don't try to take it apart. It's not made to come apart, and you
probably won't be able to get it to stay together properly once you've
taken it apart. You can still try taking it off, looking down inside to
see if there's something in there, and lubing it, but I think it's a bad
idea to take it apart.

Two hours to any kind of a hardware store or a Wal-Mart, or an auto parts
store, or even a grocery store that has a small hardware aisle? Where the
heck do you live?
