Title: Shoulder harness retracter
Post by: lalease on March 28, 2018, 07:34:19 PM
Does anyone have an idea why my recoil units do not recoil. inertia stop will work, but once extended will not go back. I have not removed yet ,are they repairable?  who is the retractor expert?

+1 - they did an INCREDIBLE job on my belts, buckles and retractors.  Simply the best.

AND, at Python, they didn't act as if my exchanging money for their goods and services was doing them a favor.  Some shops who are masters of their craft can leave you feeling like a peasant approaching the royal throne.

From your description, you may have a broken or damaged coil spring

   I too had a retractor issue with my drivers side. The retractor would leave the belt sagging about 8 or so inches from the top. I was able to resolve the issue by taking it apart. I found the tension spring was still intact and all I needed to do was wind the plastic housing it was contained in & attached to a couple of times and it was solved. You may want to take a look at yours before sending it off for a repair in case its a similar situation (hopefully).

Plastic is bad, replacement parts anyone?
