Hey, lately I've been having this annoying problem of the seat belt not retracting to its resting place, and everytime I get out of the car I have to put it back manually. Any ideas what would be the cause of that? Even more importantly, what should be done?! ________________________ "Sir! We're surrounded!" - "Excellent! We can shoot in any direction!"

Is the seat belt twisted behind the interior panel? I would pull the seat belt all the way out and see if it will retract back (untwisting if necessary). I've actually had two separate incidents concerning the seat belt. One is, it was twisted during installation (in the process of resolving another issue) and it would not retract all the way back. I'm guessing, because it was like this for so long, the spring to pull the belt back in was weakened to the point where it could not pull in the last few inches. Another incident is where it got twisted behind the panel (due to the way it retracted) and I had to pull the seat belt all the way out and untwist it on the way back in. This probably doesn't help but hopefully it will shed some light on situation. Good luck! -Moto
