&$”#%#**# retractable seat belt

[Ahoey]

Sometimes it takes 10 min to get seat belt on or so it seems. Wondering if anybody else has had this problem I’ve had the retractors apart everything looks ok cleaned it all works a bit better but still. Is this another one of those Chrysler engineering feats we run into every once in a while.

FWIW, I installed aftermarket belts and the instructions state that the retractor must be either straight up or straight sideways. After putting it straight up, I have not had a problem. These are aftermarket 3 point belts from summit.

Post a link to the aftermarket 3-point belts, I need to upgrade the ones in my Duster.

Those are for bucket seats

I attached the retractor and the third point in the original location on the floor of my 73 scamp. Not sure that is what you are supposed to do but it works just fine. I can get pics later if need be.

Thank you, that is reasonable, tired of fighting the factory belts in my Duster.

I have this problem with all seatbelts, old and new. I think it's me.

I'm not sure of your exact year, but, In my experience, the 1974 models were the worst. With two retractors, they always seemed to be fighting each other.
