Anybody have a issue that the front seat belts will only retract with assistance ?

Anybody managed to fix them ?

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.

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.

Yes, my driver's side one was replaced under warranty.

Yep, give a good wash. If that doesn't do it pull the pillar covers off and cream out the mech..

One of these days I will have to work out how to pull off the pillar covers in a GU and do exactly that.

Pretty sure you need to remove floor kick seals and then remove the rubber up along the covers

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.

iv gotta pull mine apart, i might do a few pics with instructions.

GOOD. You do that :-)

Hi,

I ordered part number 87880-79900 and it improved retraction a little bit.

Found a pic in my phone:

I wonder if there's any way to put extra tension on the spring.

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!

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.

Agree!

Hi, This is about astra h but may be works on patrol.

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!
