Automatic Seatbelts

    Ready for a laugh of the day?

    My driver's side seatbelt is only retracting 1/2 way (one of the automatic
    ones). It still locks into place so is OK for driving. The Saturn dealer
    informs me that the cable and motor is a sealed unit and would cost around
    $700 Canadian. (Not to mention the fuel pump at $800 CDN).

    1. Is it easy to tear out and try to fix (just a matter of removing the trim
    pieces etc)?

    2. Can it be fixed?

    Thanks
    Chris

    Do as others suggest. Immediately lubricate the track w/ white lithium
    grease.
    The driver seat belt in my 92SL1 failed aftter exhibiting the same symptoms.
    I told Saturn to lubricate it three times while performing routine
    maintenance.
    They never did lubricate it and I foregot to check it until after leaving
    the dealer.
    The seat belt retainer cable finally broke.
