I have retractable seat belt now, but they stick a little and I'd like ones that work and are new.
Try restoring them 1st.

Youll be amazed how much dirt come off of them, and usually how much more easily they retract afterward.
Of course if your concerned about their integrity after 30 Yrs, replace them.
I know this list does not include much more than washing and it should not.
Don't just go in there willy-nilly. There is a spring that will go off like an atom bomb and you will be so pissed. Clean, wash, squirt silicone or WD-40, but be very careful if you start taking them apart any further than just off the car.
