Seat belt won't retract

Anyone know if the seat belt retracter can be tightened. Mine sometimes won't go back and gets caught in the door.

Sorry I don't know, am facing the same thing myself. It seems to happen more often in cold weather so I suspect the grease on the coiled spring in it has hardened.

In other words I suggest taking it off and spraying some oil or WD-40 on it, though the WD-40 is more of a test to soften the grease since it isn't really a lubricant, if it works you ought to put fresh light grease on it for the long term.
