Product Description
Non-retractable lap belts are simple and reliable, but they have one annoying habit: the loose end of the webbing flops around, gets caught in the door, or ends up on the floor. The Seatbelt Planet Webbing Roll Up Retractor is a small accessory that tidies that extra webbing away.
What It Does
The roll up retractor is a small spring-loaded spool that installs on the belt's webbing. It gently winds up the slack so the belt stays neat when not in use. Seatbelt Planet lists these features:
- Easy to install on any seat belt webbing
- Works great for non-retractable lap seat belts
- Helps keep extra webbing neatly retracted
- Keeps seat belts from getting caught in the door
- Retracts rear seat belts neatly to the crack of the seat
- Use one roll up retractor per seat belt
- Size: 3" x 2.5"
Important: Not a Load-Bearing Part
Seatbelt Planet is clear that this is NOT a load-bearing component. It does not replace a real retractor and plays no part in restraining an occupant. It simply manages slack in the webbing. The belt's anchors and buckle still do all of the safety work.
How to Install
Seatbelt Planet's instructions are straightforward:
- Rotate the center spring a maximum of 8 revolutions to preload it
- Install it in the center of the length of webbing you want to retract
- Slide the webbing under the two slots on the center shaft while holding the spring tension
Once released, the spring winds up the slack. Do not overwind the spring beyond the recommended number of turns.
Where It Helps Most
Classic cars with fixed lap belts in the rear seat often end up with belts buried in the seat crack or piled on the floor. A roll up retractor keeps them within reach. In the front, it keeps excess webbing from hanging out of the door or getting pinched when the door closes, which can damage both the belt and the weatherstrip. It is also helpful in convertibles and roadsters, where loose belts can blow around with the top down.
Ordering
Use one retractor per belt. The quantity menu lets you order up to four, which covers a typical front and rear seat setup.
A Small Upgrade That Makes a Difference
Tidy belts look better, last longer and are easier to use. Webbing that is not stepped on, slammed in doors or left in puddles on the floor stays in better condition. For a few minutes of installation, a roll up retractor makes old-style lap belts feel much more civilized.
