GU Drivers side seat belt doesnt retract properly.
Hi everyone, the seat belt not retracting properly has annoyed me for a while now. Every time I get out I have to manually feed the belt back in so it doesn't get caught in the door when closing.
I have done some reasearch on it but most of the advice is to clean the belt and tracks, runners. Done that but didn't fix anything.
Anyone got any other solutions?
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul. Common issue. Nissan sell a teflon pad kit that you wrap around the D ring. It works good. But after a few months its back to normal. I have them on mine. I did see however a chap tighten up the spool on the retractor. He removed the belt from the retractor, and wound the hub up a few turns then put the belt back on. Apparently he see no more issues. I think this was on the P4x4 forum??? I'll see if I can find it.
Found it...

Don't waste your time, money and effort. I've tried all the you beaut tricks - and none of them work after a short while. I bought new after market belts from here:
https://www.seatsafe.com.au/home
I have had them for years now - and they are perfect.
Good luck with opening the mechanism and winding up the spring. Buy a new packet of bandaids before you start and wear eye protection!

Thanks but they don't do belts for the 2008 GU6 by the looks. Can only get them from Nissan.

You wouldn't happen to have the part number they supplied you? Their site doesn't list GU Patrol seat belts.

I had the same problem with no part numbers years ago so I rang them. They initially said that they did not carry the ST Patrol belts because their data base said the ST Patrol has pre tensioners on the front belts and the item they stocked which would fit did not have pre tensioners. I pulled my retractors out and they did not have pre tensioners. Its easy to tell as they will have an electrical harness going to them if the have.
I called them back and ordered the non pre tensioner ones for the Patrol - and as I said - they have worked fine for years.
Just make sure you get the correct ones if you have a single cab. They are different to the wagon as they sit at a slightly different angle and if you install the wrong ones the belts will be forever locking up when you try to put them on (like they do when you park on a slope and try to put the belt on).
Give SeatSafe a call. I found them very helpful.

I have dug through some old tax files and I found the receipt.
This is for a GU II Wagon.
Part Number: 1600007 GRY
Description: Seat Belt 90/90 RH Light Grey
Price was $241.80 for the pair including delivery to Albury NSW.
The RH fit both driver and passenger side front. The 90/90 is the angle it is designed to work at. I asked for the light grey colour but I think they did have others.

Unless yours have pre tensioners I would think that the ones detailed above would fit.
