Seat belt replacement

Next project need to replace passenger side seatbelt with one I got off ebay.

Only thing not sure about.

Do I need to completely remove the plastic trim above the window. The one with the grab bar attached?

Or is there enough room to bend it out. To slip out the panel I need.

This is a Regular cab 2003

Thanks

 

Did we try the PHM Silicone with Teflon Spray fix yet?

 

Yes the PB you recommended before. Worked on drivers side.

Funny that is what broke my passenger side. LOL
Well sort of. It happened when I pulled the passenger side belt all the way out to clean before spraying.
Thought I heard felt something at the end. Different from when I had just did the drivers side.
Maybe because it was the first time it had been pulled 100% of the way out. That side does not get used much.

Passenger side if I try it a few times I can get all of it to retract except about 15". That just will not retract.

 

Just to update if anyone has a problem.
I was reading somewhere that the seat belts retracts slower when it is buckled up. And faster when unbuckled.

I tried actually using it so buckled it up. It never really gets used. Maybe once a year for this passenger side.

Now I can get it to retract all the way. Strange but seem to work now.
