Seatbelt locking with car parking in sun???

[Short Norman]

my seatbelt has started playing up, the other day no matter how I pulled at it (slow/fast/up/down) it would only move half an inch then lock. It took bleedin ages to get it out to put it on. Then the day after all was fine. Then the next afternoon same again locking up at the slightest pull.

I've just ried it this morning and its ok......so I've come to the conclusion that when the car is prked in the sun something inside is expansding just enough to cause a problem.

Anyone else heard of this before? It's not a Clio by the way but I'm assuming seatbelts work in a similar way no matter what car it is.

That's a bit odd, you can try leaving it plugged in, it might not fix it but it will take a lot less time to put back on again.

i would recommend a new seatbelt its a sign that something is wrong with that belt ie; crap/dirt,fluff built up in the mechanism or something more serious
