Drivers seatbelt starting making a racket when pulling out belt about 2-3 weeks ago. Both sides need a lot of help retracting and some patience to get back to the parked/fully retracted position.
I've read threads, watched videos and like one of them that said to soak the mechanisms in hot water/dish soap. Free up all that 40+ year old hardened grease. No change for me. What are my options now? Just get new ones? https://www.seatbeltplanet.com/i-30498936-1...AiABEgIJWPD_BwE Can I get mine rebuilt? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |

Seat Belt Planet belts are great, but I don't like the fixed end. They are too tall and interfere with the closing of the center console box.
I would send your belts out to SeatBeltPlanet and have them rebuilt with new webbing. They come back good as new and you don't have the issues with the fixed end buckles. I wish I had done it that way. Clay |
