Loose seatbelt tension, possible remedies?

hey guys,

When i drive the car i noticed that my seatbelts lose tension and become loose and sloppy. Its not until i click the seatbelt buckle button that tension immediately comes back and then it retracts. It almost feels as if the the spring itself has lost tension in the seat belt unit instead of the actual SRS unit, it still locks under fast stops nad retracts quickly once u click the button but then it losses tension again. I dont feel safe both for me and the front passenger, can anyone help? rear seatbelts are fine but fronts are not. please help.

Congratulations, your seatbelt comfort feature
is working as it should. Can be a little unusual
at first, but this is how it is ment to be.

It could be had in the rear as well, but only in the
2 rear seat option.

Try to feel the tension of the belt with and without
the ignition on (or key in lock, do not remember).

br,
