Thanks Dan --
Any idea what they were trying to accomplish with the WD40? Surely not
Lubrication? There are so many better products. Not trying to criticize
the suggestions made - just wish to understand
And thanks for the great details on gaining access to the Retractor!

Dunno. I seem to recall that's what someone used. Certainly not an

On the W124 I would remove the B pillar covering which would give you immediate
access to the retractor. You do that by pulling up the threshold panels in
both door openings, pulling the door opening welting (that fuzzy strip that
surrounds the door opening) off, taking the two screws out of
I have a pair of belts for swap in on the R107. I am going to get them rebuilt
