I OWN A 94 DODGE STEALTH R/T. HAS ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 77K MILES ON IT AND EVER SINCE I GOT IT, WHEN IT ONLY HAD 25K MILES ON IT, THE SEAT BELT HAS NEVER REALLY RETRACTED PROPERLY AND ALWAYS HAS SLACK IN IT IF PULLED ON. I HAVE TO WORK THE SEAT BELT THROUGH THE SLOT IT IS SUPPOSED TO RETRACT IN, IN ORDER FOR IT TO COME BACK TO WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. *NM
