I love how you added the part where you were waiting for him to stop trimming, very funny!
Gained a sub man! great vid.
The neighbor trimming the tree was the cherry on top in this video. ;)
I just finished doing this to may 2000 Land Cruiser and it totally worked! Did the trick and the seat belt looks brand new as well!! Thanks for posting this!!
Thank you for this video. I siliconed the retractors but never thought of soaking the seatbelts. I soaked them in OxiClean dissolved in warm water. OxiClean is a tough degreaser and gentle enough for the wife to soak her sheered curtains. I was amazed to see how much filth came from the seatbelts after approximately 20 minute soak and scrub on each.
Three of the four retractors turned out great. Trip to the local Pick Your Part with the same cleaning method fixed the other.
Thank you for the helpful video. Cheers!
Dude, you're neighbor had me balling! 😂😂 You seem like a funny guy to chill with 😎
Joe Chirinos haha thanks man
Glad to have you on the channel. Thanks for watching
IT WORKS!!! Thank u for the advise, i only have one thing to say there is no need to remove that bolt the seat belt that i worked on was so stiff n nasty I filled a bucket with “HOT WATER” dawn And fabric softener and now WORKS LIKE A CHARM with only 1 wash.THANK U AGAIN!!
I’m loving this video between the neighbor & the child safety lock lol all I needed was to know how to fix my seatbealt! Good stuff!
I let the belt soak on the soapy water for about an hour and used a gentle brush to clean it. Then I used a blow dryer to dry it quick and it work flawlessly. Thank you
I'm loving how you kept your cool...just lol with the noisy neighbour too!
Great video, I think you should make your neighbor part of your show, it was hilarious.
Thank you man, this is what I need to do on my truck! I'll be tackling that this weekend!
Very useful, I've already retentioned my springs but that only made it a bit better, didn't think to wash the belts as well, they are quite stiff from the car beings abandoned outside for a decade.
We’re having the same issue with my son’s ‘99 Accord. I even took it to the dealer, thinking they were under lifetime warranty. They are, if “defective”. After spending $66.....
The belts are pretty stiff, so they’re quite dirty. Next warm day we’re cleaning them and I bet they’ll work.
Nice shoutout to Eric O!! His shop is in my hometown of Avoca, N.Y. Great guy with a great family. He’s just a small town guy doing honest, excellent work. 👍🏻
Thanks again for the video. I’ll holler at you when I try the cleaning/silicone treatment.
Thanks for watching and good luck
I’m going to get back to videos soon
Opened a business
great job...thought I was going have replace seat belt...thanks garp... over in ireland.

Regards to your neighbour . Cheers from Australia. Keep up the good work
Chill bro. Thanks for the vid
Good vid, man. Loved the "noisy neighbor" bit. ;)
Hey man, loved you on that Sister Wives show.
Hey KTC Garage your video is good for the content we want , PLEASE leave the non sense out at the beginning we don't care about your shop being dark and really don't want to wait for your light bulb changing nonsense
mrfoxfootball thanks for the feedback
I will 👍
Thanks for the nice constructive suggestions
I’m about to start making vids again soon

Some of us do care, but maybe moving that footage to the end, making it optional, would be better.
@@PongoXBongo It is optional. Fast forward like I did. Or better yet, put a timestamp in for others. First world problems.
Haha I got a good laugh. I can understand your frustration.
Hi do you have any answers my driver seatbelt how do I explain this is lazy it’s not tight as I drive I don’t feel like it’s holding me when I brake or take corners fast it dosnt hold. When I pull the the passenger belt all the way out and release I hear a ratcheting system on the drivers belt I hear nothing it’s really loose
Liked your DIY video very much. I have lazy seat belts in 2002 Tacoma,.I’ll try the cleaning/washing process you did and hopefully that will do the trick. Thank you.
Worked for me! Thanks
Lol its ok man you are doing great with your neighbor.btw nice explanation...lol i was irritated for something simple that ibhad forgotten.
Great video just saved me $200 new one
Hi from NZ
Awesome video. Thanks so much :)
that was great! thanks for the info
I was just randomly watching two or three videos on this topic. Because I have this issue on my 1996 Isuzu Rodeo, lol. Imagine my surprise when he rolled up in an Isuzu in the video.
Good job!
12 minutes video to wash a seat belt?
Thanks Bobby Brady. It worked.
My belt is completely stuck on my 2017 Ford Fusion. Shouldn't be so old or dirty to get stuck like that... any idea why that might've happened in my case?
Love the expressions when the noise starts. Lol
So loved my Troopers!!!
This is a great video. Maybe you can help with a similar question. If I have a seatbelt locked in a fully retracted position, how do I unlock it? We have a 2000 Golf we just bought for my daughter to learn to drive in. It is actually in fantastic shape, BUT the center, rear seatbelt is locked in the fully retracted position. I cannot seem to get it to release. Do you know how to fix that? I am trying really hard to help her take care of it. 🙏🙏 Please, please help if you can. 🙏🙏 Thank you!
That sister wives comment is so funny. Who ever said that - - brilliant
Good job maintaining your CALM... MERELY life circumstances...remember this neighbor may save your life one day..
Hi, what does it smell like in your car? Soap smell or w40 smell?
That's hilarious about the rear door. Same thing happened to me and I pulled the door panel off 🤣
Damn good video.
Hey Kevin, doesn't the silicone lube get on your clothes if it gets on the belt?
We enjoyed your video, you kept your cool.
allison tison haha yes my neighbors are cool. They have to endure my welding and grinding all morning so I can’t get too upset. I was mostly clowning around. Thank y’all so much for watching my videos. Welcome to the channel.
Thanks bro!
For anyone who read comments first this is a cleaning Video to “help”, and no to get to the original snappy retraction,, in the video he gives it too much assistances,, and thanks for the light though it does matter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Starts at 2:00 min. Mark.
Will this discolor my blue seat belts?
The middle seatbelt in my truck is stuck. It is the kind that crosses over your body. My son pulled it all the way out too tight and it won’t retract at all.
Any suggestions?
Thank you very much 👌👌👌👍

Thanks man! Saved me some money here
Ason Unique great man. Thanks for watching my channel.
Glad to have you here!
Hope you will stick around for more videos
ODB?!?
A 2 part wash should make unnecessary to disassemble?
Thankx sir
I tried the re-tensioning option for mine. It didn't work. I'm going to try this now. Hope it works.
Excellent Job!!! Saved me a trip to the dealership!!
Samuel Francis thanks so much
For watching and being part of the channel.
I've given you like for the temperament control :)
Amazing!..somehow my kid pulled all the way out for the seatbelt and wont retract...i still dont get how child lock got sth to do with seatbelt but HUGE THANKS to your video! Was about to spend 175 for someone to check it out. But all u need to reset child lock and thats it!
Thank for the video going to have to give it a try on my 95 4runner.
Dude being a 95 the tension will need winding up a few turns.
You will find some clips on the youtube about this do yourself a favor take the belt out of the car its easy a blind man could do it.
Once you have it out hold the drum in the upright position as it would be in the car pull the belt all the way out until the spool is MT.
locking the spool in place with a pair of vice grips so the spool don't retract find the end of the belt that's locked into the middle of the spool hook this with small screwdriver or seal pick and pull the end of the belt that's sitting in the drum towards as you feed the belt in from the opposite side.
Once you have pulled out few inches you will see the belt has been double over and stitched in between the stitching you will see a round bit of plastic or steel that stops the belt from pulling back through the drum slide this stopper or pin out of the stitched overlap place the overlap on a bit of wood and softly tap the overlap to flatten the eye out making it easier to pull it back out the otherside of the drumonce the pin has been removed.
before you pull the belt out of the drum mark the side facing you with whiteout so if the belt is pulled out of the guides and slides you know what side was facing you.
Making sure the drum is secured as you only need to pull the belt from the drum and not out of the mechanism leaving the belt in the rest of the guides.
Once the belt has been removed from the drum holding the drum firmly from spinning remove your vice grips and start rotating the drum in the opposite direction to the way it wants to undwing this puts more tension on the spring give it 4 or 5 full turns in the tension direction once you have got more tension on the spring slide the folded end of the belt back through the drum and replace the anchor pin and lock in back in the drum if the belt retracts and fills the spool it's you have plenty of tension .
Pull the belt all the way out until it stops put a clamp on to stop it retracting back again.
fill a bucket with hot soapy water and put all the loose belt in the bucket along with all the slides guides and stoppers that are still attached to the belt leaving the retractable mechanism hanging outside the bucket.
After a soke for an hour give a light scrub on both sides of the belt with a soft nail brush rinse in hot water let dry and replace back in the cars squirting some WD or CRD onto the mechanism.
@@jcmate1692 thanks.
New sub here lol 😂.
My seatbelt in my 80 series wont pull out or realease
wonder if adding fabric softener would help too ?
irving wells great idea man!
Maybe in the short term. But, regular use of fabric softeners degrades synthetic fibers (well, all fibers really, but esp. synthetic).
What if the seat belt is totally clean
You look so mad when he was trimming. Good video. It worked for me.
So which remedy worked? We will never know. Because impatience prevailed.
Actual video starts at 1:45
Me seatbelt on the passenger side does not retract at all,would this fix it?
I've got the same thing happening with my cars seatbelt not retracting at all; mine is on the backseat passenger side though.
I loved the video never mind the cry babies who cant do what you do .
Good video, useful and entertaining. But it looks to me like during the test he kind of launched the buckle a bit to help things out.
A FULL bucket of soapy water INSIDE the vehicle? What could possibly go wrong? LOL.
tripjet999 hahahaha yea right.
Thanks so much for watching and welcome to the channel.
Lately I have been doing more shop fabrication projects but I will get back to trooper vids soon as well.
Glad you joined us!
How do you know the silicone spray didn’t fix it and not the cleaning?
Yeah. Cause actually cleaning your seatbelts is such a sin.
Great tip before replacing the seat belts thanks
Francisco Vasquez thanks for watching
Haahai nice reaction 10:15
Good video. As far as your neighbor, at least he’s maintaining his property.
Indeed. A properly trimmed tree grows straighter and prevents branches from crashing down on your roof or powerlines. Be sure to also trim back from sidewalks so pedestrians don't feel like jungle explorers passing your property.
Mate you should be grateful yours even retracts that much. Mine's fucked.
😂😂😂😂😂super helpful, but you can tell how annoyed he was by the noise!
Vrrrrm vrooooom reeeeeeeeeee aaaaa is what that machine sounds like
Had me laughin', Kevin!
Sudo Nym haha thanks man. I appreciate you watching and being part of our channel. I’m making vids right now in the garage. Many cool new projects!! Thanks again!

Great job! I'm subscribing...!
what is "DORN" or is it "DON" and where can I buy it?
DEREK HARTLEY Dawn soap. www.amazon.com/dp/B07V5BWX5K?tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1
It is Dawn dish soap, I don't know if you had it in your store
Dawn lol, its a brand of dishwashing detergent. You don't need to use that brand in particular though.
Were you on that Sister Wives show?
I can't wait to clean my seat belts meow
Oh the frustration
Lmao
Wow tha I u for teaching me
Lol u was so mad lol
Baby powder or talcum powder..BOOOM
Wet lube will attract more dirt and grime.
I gave it a try, but... didn't work. On to a mechanical solution.
CLOSE THE ROLLUP DOOR
Harrison Katzz hahaha I needed the light. Thanks so much for watching and being on the channel. I was just playing around I wasn’t that upset
Hope you will stick around I have some great projects coming up!
THE NOISE WAS BUGGING ME
Carrottop!
Wtf do your garage lights have to do with anything
Jonathan C. My previous videos looked like shit cause I had bad lighting
Just trying to entertain a little
Sorry
Welcome to the channel.
Kevin
A brightly lit shop definitely helps when youre working without the sun. Reduces the need for direct light like flashlights and such.
The distance from the retractor to the out part of the seatbelt is long enough to not interfere with the mechanism,the seatbelt probably is allergic to the dirt I really recommend if you give a Benadryl but your fight to open a RUclips channel to repeat all the stupidity are more bigger than your own ego
I am not sure why all these videos show using laundry detergent with water in a bucket and then soaking and washing belts.. I suppose it's the feminine side coming out of the blokes.. Try just using sugar soap in water 50% mix and scrubing the belts.. takes 5 min max per belt and does't soak the belt with a wait time ( forever ) for the belt to dry..
Whats feminine about soaking the belts? Cleans them far better anyway rather than just wiping off the stuff on the surface.
Wtf is "sugar soap"?
Use tittle how to wash seat belt using dish washing
A dirty seatbelt - that's your problem, Lady.
loooooool
Dude has some anger issues
ever think about getting a haircut?
I wonder if your neighbor turns on his machinery so he doesn’t have to listen to you yelling. Thanks for the effort but why don’t you just talk normal instead of like you’re yelling to somebody 100 yards away
Hahahahahaha... Fkn noise..
It should be titled “ how to wash a seat belt “.
washing is not the objective or search criteria, retraction is. washing is the unknown remedy
2 days in a row?! That’s annoying. Too bad you can’t just cut their tree down for them.
