Do they retract better? Is it a failure of the Nissan return springs ot a pillar design fault?


Don't get me wrong....325 bucks is bugger all for seatbelts that work properly.....just annoyed OEM are known for failure.

The first couple of times I used them I did what I was used to with the old Nissan belt - virtually throw the belt at the B pillar to try and get it to retract - and the belt smacked into the window!!! Yes, they retract perfectly now.

It is a failure of the Nissan belt design, not the pillar. I have been told you can tighten the spring in a Nissan belt. Good luck with that - you'll need it !!!

Took Bills GU's advice and got some replacement ones from seat safe, went off road over the weekend in and out of the truck all day and they had retracted every time.
Was getting so fed up with the OEM's, these work a treat, took a bit of fitting as Bill said but once one was done the other was so easy.
Thanks Bill, Macca

I found that the slot where the seatbelt went through the top fixture was tight. Cut a strip of sandpaper and inserted between the belt and fixture. Sandpapered and bingo Seatbelt retracted easily.
It builds up grease from hands.
Try the above A cheap Fix.
Belt Needs to be cleaned as well

Thanks ,I'll try that, wouldn't you think NISSAN would come to the party if it makes your car un road worthy, might speak to local dealer firmly and see what he says. Will BS that I'm selling , Yeah yeah I hear you but will ask just the same, it is a safety issue. Any one got Nissan head office contact number not a 1 800 or 1 300 one

Sorry been away from computer.
Cost me $314.00 delivered, thats for 2 that the buckle fits to the seat base on my aftermarket seats.
Had a choice of black or grey I got black so no match to worry about.
