Main273 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Hi the third row seatbelts are very slow to retract. Is this an mot failure and can i use wd40 on them to free them up? Quote
Mirez Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 You need to strip the assembly down before using anything like WD40 (which isn't really ideal anyway) however as long as the mechanism is working, ie it is actually retracting then its not an MOT failure, The speed isn't a factor. However if you're concerned then simply either remove the rear seats or leave them in the closed position - they can't test whats not there (again not a failure) and if the seats are stowed then they arn't allowed to "unstow" them so again it can't be tested.

daddyfixit Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 unwind the belt as far as it will go, to make sure it isnt twisted---then where the belt disappears into the bodywork,it passes through a slot??? (for a better word) lightly spray dashboard shine/bumper shine/silicone polish on it. then wind all the way out again and then see if it goes back easier. Quote
