My daughter bumped into a light pole setting off the airbag. now the seatbelts won?t retract or extend. we had a new airbag installed at the dealership and now they want another 1000.00 to put in a new seatbelt. anyone have any ideas.The seat belt was not even being worn at the time so replacing it seems like a waste
I thought Honda had a LIFETIME warranty on the seatbelts? My 1997 Civic is about to be on its third set. They retract slow, but still lock up when I slam on the brakes.

if she's not going to WEAR the seatbelt,then she shouldn't worry about replacing it....
they don't do any good if you aren't wearing them.
Isnt insurance covering you. She wasnt wearing the belt! she shouldnt be driving.
Ouch, that is a lot of stuff to replace when an airbag deploys in addition to having to repair the car. I guess I can count my lucky stars that my insurance company totaled out my 2007 Accord in December after I got hit head on by someone making a left turn in front of me. With the body/frame damage alone, they estimated over $18,000 was needed to fix the car. Then there was an issue with the engine/transmission/electrical stuff that they really didn't want to get into.
