You probably have to unhitch the wire part, roll up the belt against the spring and then reattach the wire.
Yes you were right. It is a spring tensioner to wind up excess seatbelt when you are not wearing it. The belt should wrap round the roller - which it wasn’t in my case. Going to take it off, put it back on and try and get it to work though I suspect the spring inside it may be past its best!
