    My seat belt had issues retracting; wouldn't retract unless it was fed through. I washed it in a bucket of water with laundry detergent and it did absolutely nothing. Belt would still not retract. What DID WORK was using sand paper to clean the D-ring (I used 100 grit). It worked perfectly.

    Hi, thanks for your video! I also had an additional seat belt issue but can’t find any info anywhere. My shoulder height adjuster is stuck in the highest position somehow, I can’t seem to figure out why, do you have a video doing a repair on this? Or maybe you can help? I’m sorry this isn’t directly related to this current video. Hope to hear back, thank you!

    He is holding the belt half way out in the demostration, were there is more tention on the spring and thats what makes it look its working perfect. I had clrened it the same way and still does not retract.

    • @CarcraftAutoRepair
      @CarcraftAutoRepair  3 роки тому +4

      This works exactly as detailed. If you have a dirty, greasy D ring my video its the exact fix. Has nothing to do with how I'm holding the belt. If your belt doesn't retract it must be a different issue.

    you should change the title to slow retracting seat belt instead of seat belt will not retract, it is deceiving

    • @CarcraftAutoRepair
      @CarcraftAutoRepair  3 роки тому +20

      Thats only because you have seen this issue cause that problem. Our shop see's over 300 vehicle per month, thats about 3600-4000 per year. Ive been doing this for 24 years and seen it many times where people wait or dont know what to do. So no, this isnt deceiving. You just know any better.
