Default My 2000 GS300 driver seat belt doesn't retract.

My 2000 GS300 driver seat belt doesn't retract. Should I replace the whole thing or the spring inside is disassemble-able? Where can I find a good price for a new one? Is the color code on the belt itself ? (Hate to buy the wrong color.)

Or there is any aftermarket enhanced version that I can buy?

I agree, it should be under lifetime warranty.

ILOVEGIRLS,

I love girls too but I am married. You spent $150 for a GS seat belt. Did you buy from the dealer? Anyone got a better deal?

i think it's by law that the dealer will have to replace your seatbelts if it's defective. It's a safety issue.

If anything should happen and your seatbelt becomes faulty, Lexus would be liable.
