Sticky seat belt

[Mark Five]

Hi all,

My front passenger seat belt is locking intermittently - it extends when putting it on, but locks occasionally when he car's moving, which means my co-pilot can't lean forward to get me a sweet from the glove box! Gentle back and forth movement of the belt doesn't release it, and it only works again once it's taken off and has fully retracted.

Does anyone have any ideas?

What appears to have worked for me is that I pulled the belt all the way out and sprayed the the part that disappears with silicone WD40.after it had a chance to work in, it doesn't seem to stick any more.

I had this problem on my Jeep ,WD40 worked on that .

WD40 should be always carried in the boot.  And in the kitchen!  Clunky dishwasher door fixed in a minute!
