Seatbelt Snagging

[Perfectlap]

Anyone find that their seat belt snaggs on the retractor? I have to get out and yank on that thing from every angle until it unsnags.
Only seems to happen on the driver's side.

Was there an update to this that I should have replaced?

do you mean that the belt do not retract back?
if that is the case, remove the trim cover, in order to get to the seat belt mechanism.
pull the belt all the way, and spray the belt mechanism with some silicon spray.
release and pull several times.
that should do the job.

right. it just locks in place when I go to put on the seatbelt. I have to pull it on it repeatedly and it seems to do the trick.
I guess I'll be picking up some Blaster.

+1 on silicone spray, but I found that it solved my retracting issues to just spray a liberal amount on both sides of the seat belt webbing. I didn't have to remove the trim cover, or spray the retracting mechanism at all. Does leave an unpleasant odor for a while though.

same problem I have will try fix. Off subject,
Perfect lap did you desnorkle?I tried to find out on another thread to no avail. Always interested in your response.....it seems your knowledge is endless. Just wish I ran into you before buying a 02 S w/ 88k miles from Brumos,which as you know it was do for everything!

Thanks for the compliments but mechanically I'm one of the least informed as this has not been a DIY experience for this car. Also, I don't have the time like I used to or the space since down-sizing. So my indy appreciates this.

As for the desnorkle. Every morning there's this guy who drives a Cayenne on my commute.
It has a really loud intake/exhaust, but in a very not Porsche-like way. People near the sidewalk jump out of their shoes thinking its coming at them. In other words if you had your head turned you wouldn't think it was a Porsche approaching, probably more like one of those RAM SRT's. Meanwhile, NOTHING sounds like a 3.2 ... well maybe a 2.7
And the power gains are not worth the hassle for me, I'm going to do the RSS pulley instead.
I'm sure that must help with power steering load/longevity, especially if you track often.
