random - seatbelt rebuild

[suijin-]

hey, new to site but bare with me. searched for seatbelt repairs and had no luck so starting a new thread.

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.
