Everyone,
My shoulder belts seem to be real parsnickety. The drivers belt does not retract back to a tight position. I have removed it and taken off the case and then it seems to work fine. Just seems fouled up when assembled and on the car. I hate to get news ones for no reason, and I don't want to install any other kind of restraints. Anyone know any tricks for getting these things to work well? MadeRight |

Step one--the cheap and easy stuff.
Steal, umm I mean borrow a "binder clip" from work. A big one, preferably. Then pull the whole belt out of the retractor as far as it will go, and put the binder clip on it to keep it out. Wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse with more lukewarm water. Let air-dry in the shade. When the belt is dry, treat with Scotch-Guard per the instructions you get with that stuff. When that is done, try the belt a few times. If that doesn't do the job, then 924 belts (I hear early-ish 944 belts and Rabbit belts may also work) can be modified to fit. If that's not your cup of tea, contact http://www.peparts.com and pay them a couple hundred for a new belt. You'll need to send them your old one as a core. --DD |
