Seat belts

Hi, not sure if I'm on the right bit but here goes.
I have an 89 Karmen cab in red and the seat belts are driving me crazy as the just won't retract ? Can I wind the spring round another knotch or something or is it time for some replacement belts, cheers

No you can't, you can try pulling them out fully and spraying some silicone spray on the belt as it retracts

Can't remember who it was now but they recommended furniture polish on the belt, same process as above just pull it all the way out and spray each side and clear excess with duster and repeat if needed.

Polish contains silicone ;-)

Yep, I used silicone spray on mine yesterday and worked perfectly :)

Sometimes the anchor can be slightly in the wrong position, which causes them to lock very easily.

It's a bit of a faff but undo the seatbelt anchor and give it a jiggle, and do it back up - maybe this will help

But smells far nicer than silcone spray…

Yes and generally a tin in the house
