How old is your car? There is a different warranty that covers seatbelts and whatnot that is longer than standard warranty.

 

[sundarpn]

its a 96 GL. I would be surprised if the seat belt had a warranty still

I have the same problem with a 97 taurus G. Sure would like to fix it.

I hate shutting the buckle in the door.

My seatbelts do that occasionally. I'll roll up sometimes and it won't other times.

Mine does that too, along with my f-150. <_<

 

[sundarpn]

So whats the fix. (i want a $0 fix)

Welcome to Fords.

My Explorer does this too. There is a spring I believe that wears out very quickly. A new Mustang I rode in did have very strong retractors. I unclicked it, and it launched itself backward. Almost took out the window.

IS THERE a DIY FIX??

 

[GTM]

I don't think the seatbelt system is something you want to mess with, this annoying thing is also happening to my Taurus '98 SE driver side belt...

I guess you should just take it to a shop, or if you know a garage owner and become a regular, you could get cheap or even free small repairs in the future, as long as you get the parts though

 

[sundarpn]

ooh well there should be a simple fix.. i'll remove that side panel and see

 

[Mantioch]

There is nothing user servicable about the seatbelt retractors. IMHO, I wouldn't try for fear of becoming one with the windshield.

You might get lucky and find something just inside the panel causing a problem.

it could be twisted in side real close to the mech assmb. it happens alot to me i remome the pannel un twist and retrack the seat belt and good to go it real easy to do

I think seat belt warranty is 5 years. Might have to go to junk yards to get the part or whatever.
