2116 Seat Belt Retractor

My 2016 seat belt retractor is getting weak, I have to help it feed back.
anyone else with same?
guess there is no adjustment to tighten the return spring?

 

It's kind of an industry rule to not build safety/restraint components with any type of adjustments. They're not designed to be fiddled with or taken apart. This is for liability reasons. If buckles and belts stop working correctly they should be replaced

 

My seat belt also retracts slowly/not at all.

Once upon a time on my first car (before they had pyrotechnics to tighten the belt in an accident) I wound the seat belt tensioner tighter. I tried doing the same on the passenger side and the thing slipped from my fingers and threw everything out of whack when it unraveled... never worked right again. It was a pain for passengers to use that seatbelt.

Maybe If I have time when i'm not working i'll attempt it on these trucks and see where that gets us...

I am aware that the only approved repair is to replace the seat belt assembly.

 

Just replace it…..I tried to back wind one once. It never worked right

 

My new-to-me 2016 had this problem so on a whim I tried this.....it worked GREAT.....good as new.....
