Seat belt???????????
Drivers side seat belt it retracts just fine. the problem is after you pull it out, put it around you, it locks you can't lean forward or adjust in your seat it locks like you had a collision, unbuckle it, it rolls right up, pulls right out, I've looked for a youtube fix but nothing for a GM belt. any ideas?

Retraction assembly went dry/ lost it lube on the bearing points.
Hence pull it, then re-lube with a good silicone lube spray (enough to lube the bearing parts, but not enough to flush the old lube away isntead).
And yes, do you don't make a mess in the car, pull the assembly to lube it outside the car.

Sorry, but I don't think so...After I hook my seatbelt, I can pull it out slowly without it catching...I think Dano has the right idea...WW

The feature is spelled out in the owner's manual.
For additional support/tension once the excess has been released, you can move the seat forward to take up any remaining slack as desired.

As cclive noted in post #4, if you pull the belt out to full extension (aka all the way), then buckle and release the excess, the tensioner will lock.
