    I have a 03 and the drivers side seat belt never winds itself backup so it is always hanging out:(. I was wondering how do I adjust the tension of the seat belt?

    I've noticed mine don't quite recoil all the the way anymore either. People just carelessly fling them off and they end up all twisted up. I'm interested to see if theres a way to help it.

    My buddy does this. Every time he gets out he just flings the belt off and leaves it hanging all twisted to it won't retract. Annoys the shit out of me :infantry:

    I've always pulled the belt all the way out and put a light coat of silicone spray on the entire length. Works for a couple years then i just re-apply.

    Not a rare problem at all. Basically, I think we just have weak retraction springs, but there have been other solutions that might either help bring back some life, or maybe even retention the spring. http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/minutemods/seatbelt/

    Personally, its not that big of a deal to me, as pretty much every car I've owned ends up getting to this point eventually.
