My X5 has an issue with the seat belts retracting, on the front seats, they are both very slow to retract when you take them off. Can anyone suggest something that might help in some way please? Obviously replacing the belts would cure this, but I dont like the price that BMW ask for new belts!! The belts themselves are actually in pretty good condition, aside from the slow retraction, which makes this problem all the more annoying!! Regards Rich
Give them a light spray with silicone when fully out and retract and extend them a few times. Hopefully that will work.
+1 on the silicone spray. Mine you had to feed them back by hand until i gave then a spray like new after.
If you unroll the belt fully and spray that section then you might not have the belt out as far but may still get the benefit
This is the one i used and i have to pull a lot of belt out lol and never had any marks on my clothing and my wife would spot them if i had she misses nothing. https://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Profes...00549636&sprefix=silicone,aps,116&sr=8-9&th=1
Thank you all for your suggestions, I will give that a try with some silicone spray, that seems a good solution. Rich
