seatbelt retractor

[Daly]

My drivers side seat belt retractor does not work to well. Anyone undertaken fixing or replacing this?
Seems like a pain in the a.... job.

I have the same issue in mine and accidentally slammed the door on it several times.. I haven't had it repaired yet, but it's on my long list of 'to-do' items for the vx.

Haha, I had the same problem, all I did was switch the passenger and drivers side belt mechanisms. They are exactly identical, and now I only deal with the bad retraction when I have passengers.

Had the issue almost from new.

I get it occasionally... would be curious if there's a good fix.

[tom4bren]

Was it a tough fix to switch the passenger and drivers retractor?

I've slammed the door on it a few times, so I've gotten into the habit of being very careful to make sure it fully retracts. I've had to pull it almost to the limit on a couple occasions to get it to retract.

And then there's the opposite... it locks when I come to a stop on a downhill intersection, and I can't lean forward to look around the inevitable bushes planted right on the corner! :mad:

have to feed it into the retractor bit by bit, slammed it in door more times than you can count,

:yeso: :yeso: Ditto. So it's not just me. It's an intermittent thing and I can go weeks with no problem and then it flares up again. I just usually pay it out carefully and let it slowly reel in.
