    Hi,

    NCT test on friday.

    Only issue i have is my front seat belts on Hyundai Accent 2000 are a bit slack.

    They work perfectly, but only retract about halfway back.

    Is this a fail? If so how do i repair them, replace them?

    Many thanks!

    Are they twisted between the fixed point on the pillar and the reel?

    If they are this can sometimes slow them down or stop them retracting

    I've heard that cleaning them can help. Be sure not to use anything that might damage or weaken them.

    How do I check this? The fixed point seems o be well hidden behind the plastic coverings in the car..not easy to take apart, unless someone knows how??

    Reckon i'll put it through anyway and hope for the best!
