    Has anyone here replace factory seat belt due to not retracting? My 2010 458 selt belt is not retracting after each use. I can manually assist to push it back to starting position but it's loose when used. Any recommendation online companies to purchase maybe different color seat belts?

    TIA

    I had the same problem. Bought new OEM seat belt online and had independent shop install it.

    Sometimes you can fix the problem with a simple but thorough cleaning of the web/belt material. You can you tube it and see what is involved if needed.
    This is a common problem.
    Let us know how it turns out.

    I THINK the DOT or NTSB REQUIRES the manufacturer to repair/replace ANY seatbelt issues at their expense.
    At least that was the law in 1992, no matter how old the car was, I took advantage of that on my Ford, same issue.
    I would at least see if that law still exists.

    You probably tried this, but pulling a seat belt to the fully extended position, so the belt is off its roller and then allowing it to reel back on at a consistent pace can reset them. Worth a shot.
