Best advice on a life-safety piece of equipment is to replace them, do not
try to repair them. The seat belt manufacturer Kangol had a recall several
years ago, due to the fact that some would not extend after retracting, and
some would not lock in a crash!!
My TR7 did the later. Check the manufact. of your belts-you may be eligible
for FREE brand new replacement belts (like I got!)
