    Best *STOCK* Seatbelt upgrade?

    My seatbelt wont retract anymore (happened after I pulled out my rear pop-out window).

    Is there any way to fix this, and if not, where is the cheapest place to buy a new seatbelt?

    I also saw uofm3's post about the sport evo seat belts, but do they come in anything other than red?

    Thanks in advance

          sport evo seatbelts are red!! thats why the sport evo belts come in red. if you want black, then you buy normal E30 belts. they are usually pretty easy to fix though. they just have to be in the mounted position usually.

                Just a helpful hint here if you guys didn't already do this...
                Spray a light coating of silicone spray on your seatbelts, both sides, and they will retract much faster/easier! We do this at the dealer a lot when belts get slow or won't retract and it can fix about 99% of the problems you encounter with belts.

                  Really??? Do you spray on the fabric itself? Mine won't retract either, I would LIKE to pass saftey in the next couple days, this would be an AWSOME fix if so! Where do you get the spray? What brand?
