Sticking passenger seatbelt

Post by Herbie33 » Sun Jul 16, 2017 10:11 am

Hi all

Just got my Z4M and one of the items that should have been fixed when I bought it was the passenger seat belt that won't easily retract.

As the garage I bought it from is in West Sussex and I live in Cambridge it's a bit of a trek to take it back to get it fixed.

The question is it a common problem and is it an easy fix/replacement?

Cheers

Cannot be really diy fixed, but you could try vacuuming or blowing dust and dirt out the mechanism. I heard all sorts of diy fixes from washing to silicone lube, but wouldn't try them on a life saving device and lube will likely just gum up and n time

Easy fix to replace, but expensive new. Lots on eBay for £50 but you'd have to gamble on quality and any fraying of webbing
