Slow Retraction of Seatbelts
INTRODUCTION
If you encounter a customer complaint of the seat belts retracting slowly the following procedure should be performed.
PARTS INFORMATION
Tape Kit; Part # 64699AE000 (Includes one Velcro strip and two pieces of plastic tape).
Caution:
Do not perform this procedure at temperatures below 0°C or 32°F as the tape will not adhere sufficiently. Do not reuse the plastic tape following
initial application.
REPAIR PROCEDURES/INFORMATION
1)
Pull the seatbelt out approximately 1 foot or 30 cm and place a binder clip (available at office supply stores) on the belt to prevent it from
retracting. Place at least two layers of masking tape to the top edge of the lower pillar trim to prevent any scratches from the clip (see Figure 1).
2)
Take the Velcro tape and slide it through the belt guide with the rough surface facing the guide (smooth side against the belt) (see Figure 2).
