Are we talking the front seatbelts here? As far as I'm aware the interior trim panel should just prise out of it's location. You should then be able to apply lubricant to the mechanism.

Alternatively I believe someone suggested trying furniture polish. Pull out the seatbelt to it's fullest extension and apply polish to both sides. Allow the belt to coil back and then pull out and re-apply if needed. The polish should help lubricate the mechanism.

This method will also make your suit nice and shiny as well:lol::lol::lol:

I had this problem, I removed the trim to find the auto adjuster had slipped out of its mount. I popped it back in and put everything back together, and now it works fine...

I have had a problem with the front seat belt retracting slowly since I have had the car. Gave the furniture polish a go and I can confirm it works a beaut. If only I knew it was going to be that easy.
Have to say though the smell of the polish 1st thing hasn't helped the cough!
A great tip - thanks
