Default slow retracting seat belt

slow retracting seatbelt first half of my seatbelt retracts normal the other half very slow I have searched this topic and watched youtube videos people recommend cleaning the seatbelt washing in a bucket of water my seatbelt does not look dirty I think it might be the retracing mechanism inside the pillar

I would not spray them. I think that just adds to the problem and may only provide short term relief.

If you decide to really clean them, this is how I did the ones in my XK8. It was worth the effort to me.

The pillar covers in the X351 are easy to remove. The belts should not be hard to remove for a proper cleaning if you decide to go that way.

Can you show pictures/instructions on exactly how to remove the pillar I don't want to do something wrong and damage the air bag
