Drivers Seat Belt Slow To Rewind.

[Flackadder]

Drivers seat belt is getting quite slow to rewind. The belt is not frayed or anything. What could I do to aid this at all? Was thinking of a little silicon spray where the belt enters the pillar.

As the mechanism ages, ridges in the spool of belt material could be building up when the belt rewinds - similar to cassette/VHS tapes when ridges used to build up in the spool of tape sometimes affecting the tape playing/winding.Try fully unwinding and letting the belt rewind slowly a couple of times.

HI Frostyballs,

Tried the full out slow in several times to no avail/. Will try a little silicon spray later....not enough to make wet, just the slightest amount.

Baby wipes to clean the belt. When the belt is fully out, try a bit of the spray inside the mechanism and slowly retract in and out
