My drivers seat belt after not retracting properly for a while has now locked in place about half way. It's too short to lock in place with me in the drivers seat.

I've taken to a local mechanic and they tell me they've tried all wreckers / suppliers in WA and Eastern States and no one has a replacement drivers mechanism. They didn't offer any other options apart from telling me that a different mechanism couldn't be fitted, the rear seat belt mechanisms couldn't be used, the car is 25yo so what do I expect etc. I got the feeling it was put into the "too hard basket".

So now I cannot drive my car simply because the seat belt mechanism has locked.

Can anyone provide me some alternative recommendations or know of anyone with a working drivers side mechanism I could purchase. I know this is a common issue with Soarers but surely there must be a solution and the car isn't scrap if the seat belt breaks and there's no spare parts.

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks. I'll search eBay in the meantime.

By the way i'm in Perth (northern suburbs).

See if this helps, it's an old thread though.

Thanks Peter.

Seatbelt Solutions have quoted $285 incl. labour to fix up which seems reasonable.

Quoted $285, cost $217 and fixed in the hour.

Massive thumbs up for Seatbelt Solutions in Welshpool, WA.

Very happy.

What did they do? Just fix the retracting issue? What about postage?
