Seat Belt
Got a problem with a little used passenger seat belt. Following a standard service the car was returned with the passenger seat belt buckled up.
Thought nothing of it until a passenger said it was not retracting properly after moving forward in his seat. Turns out that to get it to retract fully it either needs to be unbuckled or the ignition switched off, when it will instantly retract fully.
The seat belt works perfectly other than this. The Mercedes dealership says it must be replaced, both the seat belt and the electric controller at a cost of some £375 ($750)
Anyone know if there is a easy fix for this instead of complete replacement?
