Seat belt retractor loose
I just came back from my first service from the local dealer to have a leak fixed and to have the seat belt retractor fixed. When I take the belt off I have to yank it a few times before it will pull up in to the retractor. So they wrote a whole explanation of how they fixed it but it still doesn't work. Instead they left a greasy fingerprint there and made smudges all over the sill plate. They did wash the car which was very nice. I guess I will go back tomorrow to inquire about the belt. Echh.

I went there today and the service guy told me they replaced the belt with a new one. W
hen I explained that it is still broken he suggested that there is probably nothing they can do since the car is older. WOW a '05 SL500 with 9,000 miles must be really old..........

Thanks. I appreciate you saying that. When the weather clears up I will be back to them. I also realized that the passenger side does the same thing.
There is an SL600 on the floor of the service dept and I tested the seat belts and they retract nicely so I know mine are not right. Thanks.
