Tightening Driver Seat belt

[ttttrigg3r]

How do you tighten the driver seat belt? I can only find replacement procedures. My seat belt doesn't retract as good as the passenger side so when I take my seat belt off it kinda swings around and sometimes hit the outside of the car even.

mine too, just waintg for the moment where it hangs on the outside and i close the door over it, making a dent in the door jamb... It also hangs up on the backrest realse handle sometimes..

Any help ? anyone?

mine too. I'm pretty sure replacing it is the only way to fix it, but new they're like 300 some bucks... maybe look on ebay?

i got the same issue

You have to replace the retracting mechanism inside. I was quoted from Honda something like $180 per side with labour and parts. I'm waiting until they really don't retract anymore to replace them as they are just slow right now on my drivers side but still pull the seatbelt up.

damn i have the same problem too. holy smokes 180 for a retracting mechanism good lord. i guess i'll be following the same procedure as you and wait 'til they are fully useless unless i replace it with a bucket seat and some harnesses

don't seatbelts have a life time warranty?

don't seatbelts have a life time warranty?

I was under that assumption myself.

my seat belts retract slowly and sometimes not at all. I believe that should be covered.

I was under that assumption myself.

the seat belts still lock in place when you stop abruptly. the problem is with the mechanism that recoils? or pulls the belt back after use.

correct me if i'm wrong but thats what i think is the problem. (i have the problem but my seatbelt still locks in place)

Yes the safety is not effected. The recoil is. When one gets out of the car the seatbelt doesn't retract, leaving the belt flopping around loose (mine then gets shut in the door, oops). I have to remember to feed the belt back into the B-pillar to avoid this.
