daczone Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 So tackling my next item... My Seat Belts don't wind back up like they used to when it was new. What can be done to fix that? I just throw them into the seat, but the wife had issues with this. I just want to do the front 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelthePathos95 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Believe it's been stated on board before that seat belts came with lifetime warranty. So you can go to dealer and get them replaced for free. It's on my list too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabworthy Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Me and my dad have rebuild seatbelts in the past. Don't exactly know if it was dot compliant. Reindex the spring, make new one, thing like that. I don't know how hard it would be to open up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pav Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yup under warranty...pretty amazing really...I've had the two fronts replaced and one in the rear. If you want a quick fix get some Q tips and clean the top seat belt anchor to reduce the friction until you get them replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daczone Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 Excellent... I will do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Silicone spray on the unit will help with friction as well. For a while anyway... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yep, dealer will (don't let them tell you they're not) replace them free of charge. I've only had one of my rear's done but I need to go back and get the front's done too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daczone Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 I found my Warranty info.... Clearly written in the book in the glovebox. So I called Nissan today and after giving them my VIN they are telling me that it is not covered. WTF? So a Warranty Specialist is suppose to call me.

kdj Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) I thought they were coverd by a recall not warranty, at least for mine ('98 and '03) ? Edited January 10, 2015 by kdj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I thought we were talking about seat belts? WTF B? Spray the friction points, yes. May have to use a Q-tip and let it dry, but yes, drag is part of the issue and less is better. (unless you like that kind of thing, which is ok... ) B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daczone Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Well it's no surprise I did not get a call back. The dealer kept telling me it wasn't a valid VIN. So I pulled a CARFAX. Argh... I'm going down there tomorrow. More tomorrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I remember a guy on here took one apart, ran the spring in another couple turns (it's a clock spring, like in a wind-up toy motor) and said that did the job. IIRC he had pictures as well. I didn't find that thread, but I did find this one: I've had a look at my belts, and I think the gunk in the belt hangers is probably part of the issue. I tried cleaning it out with a paper towel (not really possible) and a piece of .035 welding wire (also not great); I think a piece of unwaxed dental floss or heavy thread would work pretty well. Whatever human slime is on the hanger is probably worked into the belt as well, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maaakaaa Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I just had the seat belt warranty replacement done. The dealership had to contact Nissan to have my VIN reopened. They apparently dump old VINs out of their system if the vehicles hasn't been to the dealership in forever. But the dealership gave me no hassles and once the VIN was open they ordered the parts (kind of slow to arrive) and installed them for me. No more throwing the belts onto the seat!

whatchugot Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 They would only do the driver side seat belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1987caddy Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I had both front seatbelts and latches replaced recently at the dealer. No hassle at all (surprisingly) and no questions asked. It did take a few weeks for all the parts to come in so be patient Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byob Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Do not put any kind of lube on the belt. Clean the d ring. Seat belts for your truck are life time if they can still be found. Nissan purges their system after 10 years. the vin does take 24 hours to be put back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djratlif Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hoping to have this done sometime in the near future, shutting the belt in the door is really getting old. Just contacted the local dealership to have them start ordering parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pathykline92 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Hi I was just reading about the lifetime seatbelt warranty and I didn't read anywhere if you had to be the original owner or not. I have a 92 with the same issue. Thanks for your help, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djratlif Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 The dealership I called is being a real pain and not doing anything for me, looks like a call to nissan to see what is going on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
