Seat belt pretensioner rebuild

Featured Replies

Just curious if anyone has any tips or information on rebuilding the pretensioner for the seatbelts, my driver's side is weak and retracts slowly and my passenger side doesn't retract at all. I just wanna make sure there's no funky voodoo with them before I get in there and start pulling them apart.

Be careful of the long spring that must be in there. I haven't had to take one apart, just guessing, probably just dried up grease gumming them up.

Polish/Clean the loop near your head on the B pillar. If that is gummed up, that's just more resistance for the spring to overcome.

It's hidden in plane sight, but never really considered.

Alright I'll see what I can find. I'll take a bunch of pictures in case it turns into anything interesting
