1st Gen Tacoma seat belts

I'm looking for new seat belts (driver and passenger) for my '02 tacoma. The interior of my truck is gray. The current belts don't retract but are still safe to use. can ya'll please help me out.

 

I would try cleaning/soaking your seatbelts in some really hot water and then letting them dry- this helped mine retract better (still not perfect). Lots of threads on this subject.

I removed mine (a bit of a pain) and re-wound them about 1.5 turns tighter than what they were set at.
the springs get worn and belts get dirty. Clean the belt and wind the spring tighter. Done deal

 

Thanks for the info... I will try this.

 

I took my seat belt out and I tried winding the spring up more but it appears broken due to the spring resetting after I wound it. Maybe i wound it too much and broke it. Before I took it out it would not retract hardly at all. On occasion during warm weather it would retract. Looks like I am looking for a new seat belt mechanism.

 

It’s about $140 new from Toyota. I just bought a new one outright.

 

Send them to safety restore.

 

Yep....agreed

 

But if it's your daily then that doesn't work. You would need a spare set.

 

I found another one at a junkyard near me. works quite well with some clean up.
