Anyone else have a problem with their seatbelt not wanting to retract without feeding it through the roller... i was going to try to clean it out and grease it, but i wanted to ask if anyone has done this. is it something you can clean and grease up, or does it need to be replaced when its lost its spring.

Mine does that too sometimes... Its kinda strange because it only does it every once in a while. Im interested in knowing what can fix that too.
same boat.. sometimes it seems like when I open my door it will zip back up and get tight..

from what I have heard on other forums to fix something like this is to spray/wipe some armor all on the belt when it's fully extended. Not where it touches you, but near the bottom.

Really? Who has time to try and let us know if it worked.

i have this problem as well, when i got the car it always pulled tight, now i have to feed it a little.
Mine only does this maybe 1 out of 10 times... Sometimes, even when I turn off my car, open the door, and turn it back on it starts to work just fine again. I wonder if someimes it has something to do with the door... Has anyone tried the armor thing to see if it works?
lol i havent noticed anything... maybe cause mine is a vertt...
but i think that it has some kind of thing, next time hold your seatbelt in your hand with the key in the off position than turn the key to the on position but dont turn it on and you should feel the belt tug a lil bit, i think its that way or when you turn it off it tugs a little bit.
its not like a hard tug but just a tug enough to get it moving...

Is this good enuff 4 ya? :D

but why would you turn your car on after you unbuckle your belt?
Open the mechanism attached to the pillar up. I did on my old talon and it was jammed with tons of hair/dust/fuzzy stuff. I cleaned it all up, and it worked fine, retracting with much more force than before.

Thats the seat belt tensioner you notice it release a small amount of slack when you turn the car off

If you spray some silicone spray on the belt, itll buy you some time and maybe fix it if you lube it up every so often. Thats what I do to my camry about once a year. You can get a can of silicone spray at toyota.
