Okay, I've groaned about issues with my B-pillar trim before, but now I think it's messing up my seatbelts, so it's gone beyond annoying to bloody inconvenient.
Recap: Some time back, the dealership had to remove all interior trim from the B-pillars back to replace my rear parcel shelf. They put it all back, but the seatbelts haven't ever been the same. Neither height adjuster will budge up or down, and the driver's belt feels like it grinds as you pull it out.
But now the passenger-side belt won't retract! Grrr. I had a passenger get out of the car last night, and the belt didn't retract. I pulled it all the way out, at which point it gave this half-hearted effort to retract. I ended up having to feed the dumb belt back into the slot v-e-r-y slowly, and it finally went back in.
Rather than taking the car back to the dealership again (they've removed this trim twice now for various things), I think I'm gonna pop those little plastic rivets and see what's going on in there. Anyone have any experience fiddling with this B-pillar trim?
