Re: seat belt retractors
Pull the cover off and then extract the belt all the way out. Take a stiff paint brush and clean it out as best as you can then use a very small amount or lubricant on the moving parts. Let it retract in and out a few times then pull it out again and wipe off any excess you can. Reinstall and hope you never need them.

Re: seat belt retractors
Has anyone here actually changed out the retractor cylinder? I've tried the lubricant route without success.

Re: seat belt retractors
looks simple. mine wont retract anymore either... Not sure how to wind them up correctly or maybe the spring isnt strong enough. I honestly dont remember if they retracted before I took them apart... Any tips?
