Is there a thread on how to refurbish retractable seat belts?
Mine are out of a 1976 car and are dirty and fully retracted. I can't get them to release. Thanks Brian (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) |

Go to your friendly Porsche parts house and order replacement seat belts for a 944. They are a bolt in replacement. You only have to open up the hole for the pin with a drill.

They should still be available new from decent aftermarket suppliers. |

Not the same belt as a beetle they have longer belts due to higher seats. i have cleaned them and reused . them. hold them against a verticle surface to get them to extend. temove the cap that does not have the coiled spring. clean and lube. not that much to them. |
