Hey guys,

My driver's side seat belt doesn't retract fast enough. When I unbuckle it, it sort of just stays there until I guide it through the plastic hook and then it slowly pulls it back. It looks like whatever spring mechanism rolls the seatbelt back has worn out? It's a bit annoying when I'm in a rush, I either have to push it back, or throw it over the seat and watch out when I close the door. Is it easy to replace this?

Thanks,

It may very well have a lifetime warranty.

Maybe not officially, but many dealers will do the seatbelts (reimbursed by the Mfr I hear) to avoid any liability lawsuits.

Or, the warranty may be an actual real lifetime warranty.

Dealer will probably tell you it's normal (friction from the belt guide), but if you want you can point them to this TSB:

Basically all they do is lube up the belt fabric, which is fine if you don't mind a little grease on your clothes.

Clean the belt guide like this 1st.
