Hi all,

Is there a fix to make the front seatbelts return back onto the spool. On mine you have to manually feed it back as it has a tired mechanism....

All help grateful unless you tell me to buy new seatbelts

Quite a few including me pulled it out all the way then sprayed silicone spray on it and then released. Try it a few times as it definitely made mine better.

Many thx I will try that... Very much appreciated....

This does work - did it to mine about 2 years ago, still retracting fine.

What type of silicon spray? Got the same issue on the drivers side on the E53.

Bog standard Silicone spray from Halfrauds

While we're on the subject of seatbelts
I've lost the 'button' thingy on the front passenger seatbelt (that stops the buckle slipping all the way down) so you have to go fishing around for the buckle on the floor almost. Does anyone know if you can get replacement buttons and how you fit them?

Waka,

This what happened to me on an old 911 I had.. I simply got a large pop rivet and fitted it in the same hole with a washer on the back.. the rivet was also black and you would have never have known that it wasnt the genuine part....

Cheers Greg

Like it! I'll give that a go.

Thanks

As far as I can remember there like plastic pop studs and pence from a dealer..., push fit
