Be honest....
 

How often do you close your seatbelt in the door jamb??

(Strap, not the belt)

I've not caught the belt in there but there's 5 spots at least from that.

Never that I can remember.

I have never caught the seatbelt/strap in the door/doorframe. There is sufficient tension to prevent this happening. It used to happen on my 99 Miata. Apparently there is a silicone spray you can buy to enhance the retraction function of the seatbelt. :)

One to many times...and you know you've done it when you get the "THUNK" sound on trying to close the door. My next thought is...crap, did I take the paint off! I have probably done it a half dozen or so times. Mostly when I am in a rush.

Never happened

So how many times?:matchup:

That's the problem with these older cars. The retract function gets weak. I'd be interested in that spray that helps with the retraction.

Now days, I try to make it a point to hand feed the belt back into it's container when I unbuckle.

Frequently...

Never. I learned the silicone spray (nothing special; any cheap stuff will work) treatment on this forum and they retract like magic! Just spray a lot of it on both sides of the belts. Works like a charm.

Guess the spring in mine is 'like-new' then. Never happened, yet anyway

Too often, for sure.
I'm conscious of it now.

Both harnesses and seatbelt no problem

Never happens to me.

Be honest...
 

No issues for me. Seat belt tensioner pulls it in quickly.

Once for just about every Porsche I've owned.

I'm seeing a pattern.

Need to research spraying lube down there. I have to feed mine intentionally through the seat loop.

It's never happened to me at least a dozen times.

Never, but I have noticed it's starting to retract a little slower. I'm never in a hurry when I drive the Boxster :-)

I had that happen with a prior car. I was able to unwind and remove the belt and wind the retractor another couple of turns then reattach and rewind the belt.

Good advice!!!
