Hi Everyone,
My driver's side seat belt is not really retracting any more and the passenger side is no prise either. Any ideas for options:
I'm thinking:
1) Buy new
2) Repair mine - Kids in college
3) Buy used - Kids in college
Thanks for any help

Remove, Wash the webbing thoroughly rinse dry and wha-la! (almost) good as new.

Mr Stone told me Baby Shampoo and it works great

Cleaning the webbing isn't going to fix a weak retractor spring

Your right, but IME most of the time the problem is only the webbing is swollen with dirt after 40 yrs & has never been cleaned.

I took mine apart and tighten the spring. A bit challenging but if I can do it you can too
