cairnsGU Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Anybody have a issue that the front seat belts will only retract with assistance ? Anybody managed to fix them ? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamus Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 It only works for a while, but a good wash with warm soapy water seems to help, some silicon spary around the slot also helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gottheshits Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) To go with what Jamus said from memory nissan do a sticker pack thing. The sticker goes into the top loop. Supposed to make them retract better. If you have a look at the top loop - lift the seatbelt you'll see there normaly caked with dirt. If you rub this of it helps alot aswell.

BigGQWesty Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Yep, give a good wash. If that doesn't do it pull the pillar covers off and cream out the mech.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamus Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 One of these days I will have to work out how to pull off the pillar covers in a GU and do exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGQWesty Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Pretty sure you need to remove floor kick seals and then remove the rubber up along the covers jamus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutta Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 And once you start pulling those rubbers off the bastards never stay on right again! But my drivers belt is doing the same thing, I'll check this sticker thing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cairnsGU Posted May 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I wonder if there's any way to put extra tension on the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 So should the kit be free? If not, how much is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edu Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 So should the kit be free? If not, how much is it ? Here in my local dealer I payed 8,80 €, that's 11 or 12 $Au. Hum, free kit with Ni$$an? Yeah right! Cheers, Edu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeyoutoo Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 (edited) When mine became really bad a couple of years back I washed and rinsed them thoroughly on a hot day and hung them over the door to dry, I would not put silicone spray on the runner as this gets back onto the belt and attracts dust further exacerbating the run through the top mount. What I did find was some built up gunk on the top of the runner slot which when I removed, restored some extra return force into it, they were never brilliant so don't expect too much. There are a number of teflon/mylar tapes around that can be used to improve friction just need to make sure you get a very thin one.

tonyfox1956 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Buy a can of silicone spray, fully extend the belt, spray the belt sideways as to get both sides as you let it retract, job done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
