97 Honda Accord seatbelt retraction problem
I have a 1997 Honda Accord with about 140K miles.
The seat belt on the drivers side doesnt retract well anymore. Often the belt gets caught in the door when I leave the car. Perhaps this is normal wear and tear on the seat belt mechanism after so many miles. Just wondering if anyone has a similar problem and if anyone tried to repair this, roughly how much should it cost? Thanks |

Hi. Will the belt go to the end of the track if you help it along?
Sounds like it may just need a good lubrication, either of the track/slider, or the drive mechanism. |

often seat belts get worn and ever so slightly frayed becoming slightly
'furry' which makes them reluctant to retract ( especially drivers belt ) so if you seat belt seems slightly furry or fluffy then shave it (carefully!) whith a bic or similar disposable razor.

meant the motorized retraction. -Jamie |

I've often read in differing ngs that broken seatbelts will always be warrantied by the dealer, no matter the age of the vehicle. True? The reason I ask is we just bought an '01 Infiniti QX4 and it has a seatbelt that won't come out of the retractor. We signed the 'as is' clause, but I'm hoping a broken seatbelt would be something they'll honor with no quibbles or charge for the service. |

Read the owner's manual for the vehicle regarding warranties that apply to it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Timothy J.
