How to improve the smoothness of seat belts with little expense

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

Video tutorial

In this video we can see a very simple method to always keep the seatbelt retraction of an older car smooth, where the problem often arises with seatbelts getting stuck, hanging loose, or having difficulty retracting. All you need is a couple of microfiber cloths and a can of silicone spray.

First, clean the entire length of the seatbelt thoroughly with one of the cloths, pulling it out completely (it may be helpful to have a friend hold it taut); then spray it well with the silicone spray, without overdoing it. Use the other cloth to spread the silicone evenly and let it dry before retracting the belt back into the retractor.

Now the belt retracts smoothly.
