Getting the Wheeling Fever

Does anybody know of a good method to fix the seat belt retractor? I am getting tired of the seat belt hanging out of the door. I think someone wrote up a method a couple years ago, can't seem to find it now though. Thanks!

And this article in the main Toyota section: http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/minutemods/seatbelt/I laid my belts out on the porch and used a spray-on uphostery cleaner and brush to scrub them, then hosed them down and let them dry. Once dry, spray with something like ScotchGard and reinstall.

Yes, helped quite a bit, makes the belt easier to slide over the loops and into the spool. That plus retensioning the retractors makes them actually retract fully.

I ended up washing mine and it worked great. Just tie some socks around the metal parts and toss them in.
