In a pinch you can get it out without disturbing the upper mount, by removing the belt from the retractor (unwind all the way, slide out the doubled-over end from the retractor drum, remove the little metal piece in the end of the belt, and pull the belt though). It's a last resort, but useful to know.
I'm also involved in replacing seatbelts and haven't been able to find any at the local junkyards. My retractors are fine so I am going to reweb mine. If you can't find a good used setup, one possiblity to consider is looking for a good retractor with a bad belt - the previous owner of my car had four belts replaced over the years for dog damage! - and replace the webbing.
Oh the other thing is since seat belts are essential safety items they might be covered by a longer warantee than the rest of the car, probably not but something to check before putting out $384.
Oh there are also universal belt setups for $70 that with some ingenuity could be made to fit.
