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) |

I sent both to Seat Belt Planet for reconditioning. Now they retract and work great.

I sent both to Seat Belt Planet for reconditioning. Now they retract and work great. Can I ask what they charged you per belt? I have a pair from SB planet that I've never installed, but haven't decided if I can live with the way they look compared to the stock belts. Would much rather just recondition the stock ones if they will actually work like new again. |
