Component
Seat belts: front: retractor
Summary
Some vehicles may experience a seat belt that retracts slowly. This is caused by the seat belt, seat belt guide and seat belt anchor (a) accumulating dust and dirt from hands and/or from the outside when driving with the top down. An increase in friction makes the seat belt retraction difficult. Keeping the seat belts clean will prevent this from happening.
