I have a problem with my 2005 caravan drivers side seat belt, it hooks up properly but it takes about 30 seconds of struggling with it to unlock, do I need a new belt, a new receiver or is there a way to fix this.

 

have seen change fall into the slot and cause that issue

 

It would be impossible for any coin to fall into that slot.

 

DIMES fit perfectly in that slot. If I had a nickel for every one I've pulled out...


The lock mechanism is probably bent or something. Get a new buckle.


Now is also the time to recognize that you need to keep a device in your glove box that can CUT a seat belt and break a window in an emergency.

 

Have you tried spraying some WD40 In the latch, that's what it's for.

 

I dont use WD40 its very unreliable, but I used another brand of lube and now my belt works fine. thanks
