I have noticed recently that the drivers seat belt in my car does not run smoothly at first fitting in the morning. When you attach it it restricts forward movement for several seconds, and becomes very tight, it's quite uncomfortable.
It's almost as if someone had held onto the belt to prevent the normal easy movement when the driver leans across the car from the driver's seat while wearing it for example, it restricts normal movement. After approx. five seconds or so it begins to function normally and run in and out with no restriction, very strange , something I have never experienced in any car before.
The problem only occurs when the belt has not been used for several hours, I have checked all the guides and feeds, to make sure that they are clean, with no contamination to no avail.
Any suggestions, ideas would be appreciated.
