does anyone know how it comes apart, does the B Pillar trim have to be removed? (how?) :huh:



I'm sick of the belt sticking and not rewinding smoothly, everything is fine except for the pesky little slot that needs making bigger.



would they're be any MOT issues if I dremmelled a bit out - extreme I know, but function over finesse and it wouldn't impact on safety - or would it - apart from loosing fingers on the dremel :pinch:

thanks for any help/MOT tester comments

;)



Mine do that also so annoying especially when the missis slams the door with it hanging in door shut and it jams the door from opening :(

:laugh: think I'll leave the passenger one so the belt does get caught in the door,

I've gone deaf from the wife slamming the door shut, she forgets the jimny is a lightweight foil pie-tin :pinch:

i spayed mine with some posh furniture polish
it now retracts better when leaning forward when belts fastened
and when un fastened if i chuck the belt behind the seat it retracts a lot better
