Slow Seat Belt Return

[winnie]

My car has just past the MOT on the 6th August with no advisers yippy but have noticed for some time that the drivers seat belt takes some time to return.

I was thinking of pulling it out as far as it will go then spraying in the gap some WD40.

Good or bad idea, don't fancy taking it to bits.

Bad idea, it will soak into the belt eventually then into your clothes.

 

Suggestive you look at something Silicon based instead, even the ironing aids might work better than WD40.

 

Coastline posted something about this a fair while ago, please search the forum.

Before trying something that may affect your clothes, you could try just pulling the belt fully out a few times to see if it helps and also give it a wipe with a damp cloth in case it needs a clean.

 

This old topic covers it http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citroen/topic/4644-drivers-seat-belt/?hl=%2Bseat+%2Bbelt and it seems iannez provided a solution.
