My seatbelts are 20 years old and both front belts are a little slow to retract & some light fraying where they slide through the buckle.
Is it time to replace them or just clean the retractor & wash the belt? |

Thanks Jaydee, appreciate the quick reply. Seatbelt Solutions were exactly what I was looking for. I am in discussions now regarding some replacements for the front. Will post when I receive the replacements.

Pulled out a lighter and ran it up and down the belt till the fraying was 'fixed'...

Several years back, my daughter had a minor accident in a Pulsar. It was my mum's old car, and I have it in my head that it was the last model made in Australia, so I guess at the time it was maybe 20 years old?
It had very low kms. Unlike some of mum's previous victims, I don't recall it ever being in a crash. It had no airbags. My daughter rear-ended a stationery car in a rain-storm. She suffered only minor injury, despite the fact that the seatbelt snapped. So yeah, if you expect them to work when required, better to be safe than sorry. |
