seatbelt retractor not strong anymore

when i remove my seatbelt after turning off the car, it doesn't retract back into the hole as fast/strong as it used to. the seatbelt would just fall to the ground and i'd need to manually assist it to go back. what could be the cause of this? can i repair this myself? i'm afraid that i'm going to slam my door into my seat belt clasp one day unintentionally

That has happened to me a couple times. I had to assist it back in because the clasp was dangling. Now when I take it off I try to push it as far back as I can so it's easier to pull it in, if that makes sense. lol

Thats a good idea, I have been saving things and organizing them in different folders in my 'favorites' links. Having them all organized on that site will be a fantastic resource for years and years to come.

That's the plan. Hopefully if we get the whole W209 community on board, we will have a wealth of info over there.
