Lazy retractors are a problem on all of these older cars. Other brands have similar issues, but cars that are kept longer (Mercedes et al) seem to show it more.

I have bought used ones from newer cars with little improvement. Seems no matter how clean, they get weak as they age.

Be careful with the SRS seatbelts, I don't know what fluids & cleaners are able to be used safely around the pre-tensioner.
