Tsia Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 These belts have two retraction modes, when you unbuckle there is slightly more tension to retract. There is a solenoid that controls these two modes on the retractor itself. A short term fix to the sag you have when the belt is buckled is to remove the electrical connector on that solenoid. The belt will be tighter against your body than normal but it's better than being loose. Long term, replace them and keep twists out of them upon retraction. Whereabouts is this solenoid? Inside the unit itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camry5Sgte Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Whereabouts is this solenoid? Inside the unit itself? Yes and is not replaceable iirc, but the electrical connector can be reached by simply pulling the panel back on the door jam. No need to pull it all the way off.

rider Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 Still no prices from Keron so I've put a request into Steven Manley for a quote as a one off or a group buy. I'll post the Toyota dealership price, with forum discount of course, when I get it through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I know of a member who replaced with new and they went slack again within a year or so. That was my experience too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 In for price as well, I increased the tension last year, but it's going slack again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 how do you get rear seats out? Brute force upwards on the seat base. Push the seatbelt clips on the bench through the holes, then lift from the front of the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
