DIY repair on seat belt retractor..

[wildboar]

my seat belt no longer pulls back by itself..after releasing, it only retracts a little bit at a vr slow pace...

so, is there anyway to repair it back to new/good working condition?? bare in mind, it should not compromise the stopping ability when it is pulled/jerked...safety first...

i havent reli seen the seat belt mechanism b4..so i was wondering, wat affects the ability of the seat belt to retract?? shud b a spring rite?? if so then it shud b rather easy to replace a new spring so that it will retract like new...just my guess..

i've experienced it in my car b4....i open the seatbelt compartment and saw a thing like spring wan....then i use force to pull it back to shape and hold it for several minutes...then...its ok...

another method is remove the belts and make new rails put in 5 point harness belt....very safe one....and fierce also.. :P

The best I idea that I can suggest you is to fully replace your seat belt retractor for your "safety"..

I think you have a stuck steel ball at your seat belt retractor. Try to knock to free it.
