Slow retracting seatbelt, mine does that, I have to remember not to shut the door too quick as it gets caught!

Re: very suprised c5
Someone a good year ago suggested some sort of aerosol spray that would improve things. Might have been Citroenmad?thefrenchconnection wrote:seatbelts slow retracting

Silicon Spray .....extend seat belt fully, On last 3rd spray both sides of the belt and move in and out spraying each time, 4 or 5 spays and a good workout does it for about a year

Re: very suprised c5
Slow seatbelts are usually caused by accumulated grime on both the belt and its guides.
It's best to remove the trim and give the guides a good clean, as well as wiping the belts with soapy water.
