2late4u Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 as the title says, my drivers seat belt retractor was getting very slow to retract or even had to help push it back in and sometimes getting caught in my door when being shut if I was in a hurry, I got on youtube and seen how to tighten the spring but it was kind of involved and then seen some on just cleaning the belt with silicone cleaning spray which I didn't want to use BUT I just used some Windex on a Microfiber rag and the belt didn't look dirty but I could feel the drag on the belt as I pulled it Thur the Microfiber rag and 100% improvement in the retractor speed ,,,just thought I'd mention this as I keep my journey in top clean condition but never thought about wiping the seat belt down.....

John/Horace Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Clear silicone won't stain fabric. Better for rubber, plastic, synthetic fibre than regular petroleum products or windex amonia. I think there are rollers you cant see that arent spinning right anymore, as well. This is an expensive silicone used on bikes and other outdoor equipment. No gravite content to stain clothes etc. Around double price of regular silicone, ebike store stock item. Auto recycler would sell belt assembly cheap, but the mounting bolts often crazy T55+ torx fastner; and really torqued down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
