Looking for ideas about my wonky seat belts. I'll have to assume a belt replacement is needed, because a "fix" I've read about before didn't do anything to help, so here goes:
My seat belts don't want to retract themselves back up and in, and are always just laying there getting shut in the door. I can help them go back in manually when I exit the truck but that's not how they're supposed to work. Also, while driving the belts will lock nearly every time I need to lean forward to reach the heater controls. I have to make 3-4 attempts to lean forward to do anything like that before I'm allowed to do so. This is a 2001 Ranger with 145k miles, so I suppose replacing the seat belt assembly is the best bet but ideas are welcome. Are these still available from somewhere? Thanks!
