Default AU3 Rear seat belts

Has anybody had problems with rear seat belts not retracting? (Not centre belt) I had one replaced under warranty and now the other one has packed it in. Is it a simple job to replace this as I am planning to do it myself ? Some pointers would be appreciated as plastic trims can be tricky.

Regards

Kane

I occasionally have the problem, but haven't bothered with a fix yet. I normally just feed it back in if it doesn't do it after 10 or so minutes.

But now you mention it, I will have a look tonight. Mine feels like a build up of crap slowing it down until it stops, but it's probably just tired. Probably not overly safe for passengers either...

If it's a pain in the proverbial I'll take some photos for you...

A lot of problems with seat-belts isn't always mechanical. Sometimes it can be that the webbing is dirty and catching on itself. I have seen a few front ones that have been fixed by cleaning the webbing.

Before you go out and buy new 1's try taking them out and washing with warm soapy water we do this all the time at work as Ba 1's are shockers for jamming up.
