Have owned a mkiv supra for just over a year now and am starting to renovate it, as you do. first though, my seatbelts have lost the ability to retract on themselves and dont retract fully when ignition is turned off so was wondering if anyone knew a quick fix for this or had some experience they could pass on to help me rebuild them.

thanks
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending the perspective) I haven't had any problem with my seatbelts. In general, I'd suggest disassembly, and cleaning/lubrication. If that doesn't fix it, you may be taking a trip to a Toyota dealership (or a junkyard searching for this rare car) for replacement parts.

Also, here's my standard promotion of the Toyota Supra Repair Manual, which likely has troubleshooting steps for the seatbelt. If you plan to do work on your Supra, you need to get your copy...please trust that it will pay for itself many times over.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
