My 94 Integra isn’t too bad, but my wife’s 96 Corolla seat belts are just
awful. I need to try this out.
Next video should be “How to clean the inside of your car”.
Thanks for the helpful tip! Works like a charm. One question….does Honda
change torn seat belts for free, like a lifetime safety service? I heard
somewhere that they do.
this is informative thank you for the post . But since we could put man on
the moon ,
could those over payed bone heads . please put the retractors in the back
of the C
pillars and use longer webbing to go forward then exit the head liner with
a metal
targa band (chrome crown vicky looking will do) , above the driver&pass head
then split y like a cessna to lap bets? and this could be done low cost
high volume.
but what do i know
where’s part 1
Thanks dude you helps me
Mine is really slow and it makes zombie noises.
Thanks for posting this vid. I had a situtation where I had to cut open my
seat belt as it got stuck around my daughter -:( she was in a panic mode as
it was squezzing her tummy. This is for a honda odyssey 2010 …3rd row
left hand side seat… Now the dealer says $600 ($150 for parts and $450
for labor -:) Any suggestions on how to get this taken care of please at
perhaps a little cheaper rate ? Thanks for your time and advise !!
Thanks for posting! Helped me out. 🙂
For some vehicles there is a tiny switch inside the assembly that
immediately “locks” the sprocket when the belt is pulled quickly and which
is released by gravity when the retracting assembly is vertically oriented
and given about a centimeter of slack. I don’t actually know why my
seatbelt was stuck initially, but after I removed the retracting assembly
and shook/knocked it about a bit, it starting working normally (when
vertically oriented). I hope this helps.
if it had not have been cut, it would have been covered by warranty. it
takes a while to dis-assemble the rear area to even get to the belt
retractor thats why theres so much labor.. when the belt is pulled all the
way out to stop, it has to be let all the way back in.thats why it was
squeezing and not letting go.
Yeah, no problem, thanks for your comment.
Great try, but far too dark to see anything….bummer.
The rear seat belt, lap section in my 1994 Buick LeSabre, not the shoulder
part, the lap part, will no longer retract. How do I get it to retract
again?
thanks bro, i was afraid to break that shit but i can see how to doit
now… thanks!
hell yeah man these videos help me out so much I just bought myself a civic
last month and I’ve been working on it non-stop (: check out my videos too
man I’m a musician!
No problem, and thanks for commenting.
Thanks, I’m going to check out my slow seatbelt tomorrow !
good video preciate cha dude!
Thank you for showing how to take care of this. But what I don’t understand
is why Honda/Acura seem to be the only cars I ever owned that have this
problem. Their retractors slow down after about a year, and the belt is
always getting caught in the door. I had a Jeep that never had this problem
during 12 years I owned it. I’ve had a Prelude, Accord, Civic, CR-V, and
they all developed very slow retractors. An MDX and now RDX, not as bad but
it still happens after a year.
Thank you 🙂
You should put a DIY on horn relocation
Yeah, I stated that in one of the previous videos to this one. But I wonder
how compliant they’d be.
So, are you saying that all seat belts are covered for life on Honda’s? I
have a 1999 Honda Civic and the drivers side belt is stuck out full. I did
remove the cover and spray WD40 but no joy, just saw this post. Thanks in
advance for any info you can give me Terry
My seat belt buckle (the part with the metal thing that clips into the
thing) is stuck in the little crevice that the belt goes into and comes out
behind my drivers seat. Any idea on gettin it out?
May I ask if u can safely take off the belt to replace the buckle? My
passenger side has the wrong buckle. I was going to take one from the
extended cab (that I won’t ever use). Thanks!
Your welcome, I’m glad I could give you that extra confidence boost. Thanks
for commenting.
Oh nice. Now if I could only get $40 to $50 for everyone I help with this
video, then I wouldn’t have to work lol. Totally kidding though. I’m very
thankful for what I have, and thanks for your comment.
had the guys at safetyrestore . com do it for like 40 or 50 bucks i think.
definitely better than $420 quote i got from a dealer. highly recommend the
guys.
My truck is a Toyota T-100. I didn’t see yours was a Honda…. Differences?
