Don't ask. :-) It somehow got into the retracting part up by the car roof and is stuck to the belt in three places. We've got kleenex wrapped around the belt where the gum is stuck.
Anybody got a good method for removing the gum? The seat belt is made of the standard material used for seat belts.

Hi Cindi,
Try White Spirit.
Just apply the spirit using a spoon or dropper and work it in with the wrong end of a spoon. You'll find that the reagent will start to melt the gum and you can add some more spirit to melt it further.
Use a lint free cloth to wipe it away and leave to dry.
Hope this helps

Cindi - As Dr Clean suggests the white spirit (paint thinner) should work. Lighter fluid or odorless kerosene will dissolve the gum. Freeze with a ice cube and scrape off what you can before using a toothbrush and solvent. Goof-Off is a good product too ...
