Happy Tuesday !

Have you recently been in an accident? You might need to replace your seatbelt retractors! Like your airbags, seatbelt retractors are single-use. If you've been in a serious accident, this safety device most likely activated and now needs to be replaced.

Other reasons it might need to be replaced include:

✅ Age - Over time, the seatbelt retractor stops working the way it is supposed to.

✅Dirt - As you use your seatbelt, dirt and debris can get stuck in the retractor, reducing functionality.

✅Malfunctioning component - The seatbelt retractor might just be faulty.

Seatbelt retractors are fairly easy to replace on your own, and replacement parts are pretty affordable at places like Amazon. Keep reading here!
