Hi all
I'm having trouble with the
seat belt on my GU Patrol. It doesn't retract properly and often gets jambed in the door. If I don't fix it, I can see the paint getting chipped and I would prefer to avoid that. Is there an adjustment on the retracter spring? Is there something else that causes this problem?

G'Day All,
Sorry for lateness of reply, was sure I had posted to this before but the post has gone.
Anyhow, Patrol seatbelts work much better after they have had a wash.
I had the same "difficult to retract" problem and it was suggested to wash the belt.
I haver a little high pressure spray unit at
home so used this, the ones at the car wash are also fine.
Extend seatbelt fully and place on outside of vehicle, then close door.
I carefully then sprayed the belt with water only. You can notice the difference immediately, went from dark
grey to light brown. Just be careful with the spray that you do not damage the webbing in any way - no detergent!
Let the belt dry and hey presto - belt retracts much faster and neater
Hope this helps
Rolande
