The only problem I had was leaking window seals in the rain and the driver's side seat belt.
The belt barely pulls out enough to fasten around my waist when it decides to allow it. Right now it is about3 inches too short to allow proper fastening
.Apparently the belt is stuck somewhere
in the retraction mechanism.
I cannot readily see how to remove and disassemble the mechanism for repair.Any ideas or suggestions ?-Denver
BEFORE you go off and have it replaced......
There is a plastic holder up near the top of the back of the drivers seat that the belt goes thru.
The holder is on a swivel and the holder GETS STUCK up against the back of the seat preventing the belt to come all the way down. Common problem on the older models.
Reach up and move the plastic holder back into the correct position. The belt will then come down to the right length to clip in.
Been there done that and it STILL happens to me all the time.
It's just a bad design and location too close to seat and holder gets stuck. I think from when we release the belt it slaps up and pushes the holder into the wrong position for the next you use it.
To this day when I enter the MH I move the holder back into position before I even get in.
