NevoBMW320i Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Salutations, Everyone! In my 2018 convertible 4 Series, the seat belts are built into the seat and are operated manually. Issue: The seat belt for the passenger side won't retract. How do I open the unit? I have looked everywhere but have come up empty-handed. There aren't any fasteners. The front seat belt retractor is broken; how can I fix it? Must I fully open the seat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Lion Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago Greetings, Gentlemen! The hand-operated seat belts are integrated into the seat in my 2018 4 Series convertible. Problem: The passenger side seat belt won't retract. Opening the unit is not working for me. Nothing has turned up, and I have searched high and low. None of the fasteners are there. How can I repair the malfunctioning front seat belt retractor? Can I open the seat all the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsports Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago On my 2002 E53, I experienced issues with the belts not retracting. He couldn't believe it when he tested it on an M8s belt after finding an idea online; he was even more amazed when it worked on another belt. After you fully extend the belt and lightly spritz it with this, feed it in and out; it should begin to function. Your apparel will also remain unmarked.

NevoBMW320i Posted 6 hours ago Author Share Posted 6 hours ago My seatbelt is completely unbuckled, so I'll give this a go. Although I do have some WD40 Specialist Fast drying contact cleanser on hand, I believe it mostly serves to remove grime and not lubricate the surface as the silicone you suggested.
