wilson_wwsc Posted January 19, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2010 So I sat in my passenger side seat, pulled the lap belt across and now it does not retract. Anyone know how to fix this? It was working fine before. I did unbolt the contraption to hide some wires, and then I bolted it back in. Did I mess something up?Thanks,Wilson Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/34468-seatbelt-retractor/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveJ Posted January 19, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 19, 2010 Maybe.You didn't post year and body style. Just a question...How much do you trust 30 year old seatbelts in protecting the life of your passenger anyway?

ajmcforester Posted January 19, 2010 Share #5 Posted January 19, 2010 Their is a plastic ring inside that usually brakes keeping it from retracting. I could not fix it in my 72, if it is broken in your car you will need a new belt. If you take it a part you will see what I mean.I can agree about getting new belts, but the key is the strapping material I'm looking at replacing the material it may cost more but it will look original. I did this with my cars first harness it was always cheaper than buying new ever couple of years, for racing Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/34468-seatbelt-retractor/#findComment-306756 Share on other sites More sharing options...
