The driver's side (naturally...) shoulder strap retractor has stopped functioning in my 94 SL2, with the strap in the rear position. It tries to move a bit from time to time, but only goes up and down an inch or so before stopping. Before I tear the inside of the car apart to see if I can fix it, can anyone suggest a possible cause or solution to this?

Yeah... I would clean out the old grease from the retractor track and re-grease it with fresh one. I've had this problem in the past, especially in winter when the grease would harden up a bit and the retractor had a hell of a time moving. At one point the grease was so bad that it blew the fuse on the retractor motor. I got so ticked with it that about 4 years ago I disconnected the fuse and fasten up manually since then.
