Wink Can't get it up.....

Driver and Passenger seat belts that is....... My 99 EB seat belts are limp (hahahah) and do not retract. Is there a quick fix, or does it require replacement of retractor mechanism......

Thanks:

Actually, sometimes I have to tug on mine a couple times to get proper retraction (almost seems opposite, doesn't it?) but it always works.

If you tug it both ways, really fast, it should give. If you've got a broken retractor, they can be replaced through surgery. I find that if I play with my "seat belt" every day and keep it free and working, it seldom will fail me.

Just a thought.
