Hi
The driver side seatbelt on my 2010 sport is very slow to retract and often stops with a good foot or so of belt unretracted when I get out of the car.

Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Not sure if advisable now, but carbon Tetrachloride cleans belts but may no longer be advisable on method of cleaning. Ensure you have plenty of ventilation in car all doors Windows and roof open if possible, fumes not healthy.


If no replies I'm sure that any LR service centre could advise. John

CTC is a known carcinogen, therefore definitely not recommended for use. However, fail to see how cleaning your seat belts will assist with the problem of them not retracting anyway.

I use to use it to remove muck etc that gone onto the belts, sticky sweet fingers etc, this then seemed to slow them down in use, but after a good clean with that no problems, and a nice shiny belt. Unless of course it's the reel retractor that's faulty.

It did of course use to be one of the main chemicals used in dry cleaning, video head cleaning, the list was endless, until the days when H&S arrived, it's still widely available, but as said not the best chemical now to use.  John
