Lazy Seatbelt Fix
|
|
Hi All,
Just fixed up a very lazy retracting seat belt in the SR. It was a minute or so job, so I'm happily sharing the good oil with you all, as we know seat belts can get a bit slow to retract over time.
My mate Chris shared this fix with me 15 minutes ago. He does it to all the seat belts on his cars once or more a year to keep them in top order. Apologies to all who already knew about it.
1. Take a slightly damp chamois and fully extend the seat belt. Use the chamois to clean both sides. The chamois should only barely be damp, the idea isn't to wash the belt, but just collect the dust.
2. Spray both sides along the full length of the belt with silicone spray.
That's it!
A lazy belt for the whole time I've owned the SR (since December 2005) was instantly fixed.
I was amazed to say the very least. Cheap, easy and quick to do, without taking anything apart at all. Awesome!
Cheers,
GK
