hey guys,
did a search but could find no answers.
how can loose seatbelts be fixed on the second gen. gs models? they won't retract back or they go slowly? is ther something to fix it or do they have to be changed when they get loose?
if so how much?
Thanks alot

i don't know the price, but i thought if they are loose that means the springs inside are bad and it's time to get new ones?

dunno if there is a way to tighten it.
never messed with seatbelts before and the search did not reveal much.
i guess i will contact carson toyota and see what they say.

I think the price is between 150-200 per belt, you may want to check if the car was involved in collision,

I might be wrong but I thought seatbelts and safety mechanisms are warrantied for a longer period than the rest of the car. Check the owners manual. Before I spent a dime on this repair, I would contact a few Lexus dealers, Lexus customer service and DOT, etc. to see what the manufacture's responsibility and liabillity is. Lexus might step us to the plate and replace them for free.

You never know till you try.

decided that i am going to contact dealer first and see if they can fix it. cos some other car companies have lifetime warranty on their seatbelts.as it is a lifesaver.
