Default Lazy seatbelts

I'm not sure if this is a common issue, but the seatbelts in my Range Rover don't retract very well leading to people closing them in the door. Is there a simple fix for this or do I just need to buy new seatbelts?

Thanks,

Wilson

Mine do the same thing... Unfortunatley it says in the service manual that they are "oiled" for life so there is not much we can do about it. If you want, you can try greasing it up a bit and see if that helps, but be wary. Its safety you are dealing with.

Ok, thanks. I will pull one out and see if I can fix it. I'll post the results.

spray silicone works best.

Interesting. I'll give it a try. I have noticed that the driver's side works great even though it gets the most use, leading me to believe that the others are not worn out.

Just an update...I used spray silicone on the belts and the surfaces that they slide on and problem solved. Easiest thing I ever fixed on the RR.

Hmm, I'll have to try it out, thanks for sharing.
