Guys,
Any suggestions on how to get the seat belts to "slide" like they once did? My seat belts have to be hand feed back into the holder.

Lol, I've run into that before....my solution was a big torx wrench and a trip to the local "pink-n-pull". You might try taking the plastic interior molding off and using a few drops of WD40. Good luck
 






I have the same issue and discovered that the cover on the lower roller is loose. I have tried various glues, lubricants, realigning it, etc. But it always moves back. Next I'm going to see if I can cut it with a box cutter and let it roll free on the bare roller. Baring that I think it's time to put in a new one.

Where's a good place to buy a new seat belt other than at the dealer?
 






I would only trust a brand new OEM part for a seat belt.

IF you do get one from a junk yard DO NOT get one from a vehicle that has been hit in the front.

The reasons should be obvious.
