seatbelt retractor

Featured Replies

So I sat in my passenger side seat, pulled the lap belt across and now it does not retract. Anyone know how to fix this? It was working fine before. I did unbolt the contraption to hide some wires, and then I bolted it back in. Did I mess something up?

Thanks,

Wilson

Maybe.

You didn't post year and body style. Just a question...How much do you trust 30 year old seatbelts in protecting the life of your passenger anyway?

Yes. I posted on an installation a week ago.

Their is a plastic ring inside that usually brakes keeping it from retracting. I could not fix it in my 72, if it is broken in your car you will need a new belt. If you take it a part you will see what I mean.

I can agree about getting new belts, but the key is the strapping material I'm looking at replacing the material it may cost more but it will look original. I did this with my cars first harness it was always cheaper than buying new ever couple of years, for racing
