Is it possible to adjust the retraction force on the seatbelt without
replacing it? Mine are just weak enough to be annoying but not weak
enough to replace. If it is possible to adjust, how involved of a job
is this? The belt material iteself is in great shape, no fraying... but
it only retracts about 1/2 of the slack and then care must be taken not
to shut the belt in the door etc.

I found that if I clean the belts themselves, they will retract completely. I use GoJo white waterless handcleaner (non-pumice) and some clean rags or towels to clean them (and almost everything else on the van).

Good luck,
