I have to feed the belt in and it pisses me off, what can I do so it retracts all the way by itself?

 

Take a 15-20 inch length of dental floss and thread it through the loop on the B-pillar, between the seat belt & the loop. You will now move it back and forth on the loop, and when you do this you will remove all manner of crud and debris. This junk is difficult to see, but it is there and causing the seat belt to retract slowly. Honestly, Nissan issued a TSB about this.

 

built up dirt.

 

Got compressed air?

 

Hmm, I'm having this problem as well, when you say "loop on the b-pillar" are you talking about at the highest point in the seat belt, or where the plastic "kicker" piece is. If that makes any sense

 

Yes, sorry that's tech-speak for the post behind the driver's head. The highest part, where that seat belt runs through.

 

i thought seatbelts had a lifetime warranty. not sure though..

 

I think they do too. But this is a good temporary fix (gona try it this weekend when I got some time).

 

I'd do the same. Just wanted to point out the warranty if worst came to worst.

 

Wow, a lifetime warranty? Interesting...

I will try to do the above method, but it seems like the problem is further down, like where the rolled up part is behind the plastic cover.

 

buy a new car?

its the dirt in that seatbelt loop

 

I took my 96 to nissan for that issue, I think its just a 10 year warranty but this was in 05 and they covered it. All they did was clean the thing the seatbelt goes thru on the side pillar (I don't know what its called) and then put a thick layer of clear tape over it. Mostly fixed the issue but it was free so can't complain.

 

Then I better get my *** in there cause I'm a 99 and my 10-yr thing will expire next year lol.

 

Mine is a '99 so I will check out what the local dealer says.
