mikecolorama Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 I have a 99 RX 300. Both the front driver and passanger side seatbelts are very loose and I constantly have to pull on them to tighten them. Anyone else have this problem and/or know how to fix it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 There's a tensioner built into the seatbelt, as seatbelts age the tensioners stop working as well. The thing to do is to replace both seatbelt assemblies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laivindil Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 My mom's RX300 is the same way. I drive a '96 Explorer and the belts are nice and snug when I drive it, it's a comforting feeling. Is the lightening of the tension a gradual thing or is it sudden? Should I be careful and watch to see if it gets worse on my mom's Lex?

mikecolorama Posted January 26, 2005 Author Share Posted January 26, 2005 I just got my RX 300 and the seatbelts were already like that. I think that I just need to have the tensioners replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmmonahan Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I have the same problem on my 99 RX300. What is the inexpensive way to fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikecolorama Posted January 30, 2005 Author Share Posted January 30, 2005 I called a certified Toyota/Lexus mechanic and they were going to replace both seat belt tensioners. They were going to charge me $530+/- to do the job. I'm still debating if I want to pay that much for the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
