How to Keep Seatbelts in Perfect Condition

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

Video tutorial

In this video, see how to fix a common issue with older vehicles: seatbelts that struggle to retract when removed and hang loosely. This advice does not apply if you have damaged pretensioners, of course.

If that’s not the case, you will only need some silicone spray. Pull out the entire seatbelt, and when you reach the end of the strap, lubricate it on both sides, a section at a time until halfway, then refit it. Pull it up and down several times until it is well saturated; now it retracts perfectly.

If any silicone accidentally gets on the outer part of the seatbelt that contacts the seats, spray an anti-silicone spray on this area and wipe it well with a cloth to ensure that the silicone does not stain your clothes.
