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?

Can I get mine rebuilt?

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