D4 front passenger seatbelt very very very slow to retract

One of the most common causes is the “lazy belt removal”, where the individual leave the belt twisted and not fully retracted.

Check the part number to see if it is the same as the third row seat seatbelt. If so, I have two which I removed when I removed the seats. Yours if you want one.

Where do you apply the silicone lube spray? I assume it's a setup where the reel is down the bottom at floor level, so interior trim off to access and then spray in?

Hi mate, I use it on the webbing after fully extending it, and also the B pillar runner / guide where the belt runs through and down .

Had to do ours just last week. Due to time constraints I might have skipped the "clean them first" step. The Boss reports good results anyway.

Incidentally I sometimes swap "Hint of Distillate" cologne with "Used Gear Oil" or "Sprinkling of Brake Dust". They all have the same (negative) effect on the other half!

I would use Teflon spray rather than Silicone spray. The Silicone spray tends to pick up dust.

Also spray the top bracket that the belts loops through.

and again yes yes.... [tonguewink][tonguewink]

Having a child seat fitted so the seatbelt is extended for long periods can also cause this to happen.
