GEN 4 Seatbelt trick ????

[El Tano]

Does anybody know a trick or what to do with the front seat belts on the 98 Camry ???? When I was looking for cars, I noticed that all the cars had dents and scratches because the seat belt got stuck in between the door and the B pillar. Bottom line it's the seat belt doesn't roll in easily...Any tricks????suggestions???.

Thanks

nvr heard of that problem. i had my gen 4 for almost 7 yrs and the belts nvr got caught, might want to check to see if all the mechanisms are lubricated to ensure they actually go up

lol tie a little elastic chord so that it pulls it to the seat when you take it off lol IDK

I'll take it apart tomorrow and lubricate it.

Thanks

i had that problem. ever tried looking to see if the buckle is in the door sil before closing the door? that solved my problem...not joking.

mine doesnt retract perfectly everytime but it doesnt get in the door too much, but i also have mine as low as possible other than that just be careful

It's happened to me several times and to some of my friends on the passenger side. I cringe whenever I hear the door shut on the seatbelt. Yeah, I guess you could lubricate it somehow but now I just try to make sure everything's clear when I shut the door.

Did a search on "retractor" and came up with 4 hits. One from Firefire was just what you need: <seatbelt retractors on Gen4>

He has a link in there to a very good description of the maintenance needed on a seat belt retractor.

I may need to try this myself.
