My drivers seat-belt has been a 'wet noodle' for a while. IT barely retracts therefore most often i just toss it back in before I close the door.

-are seat-belts warrantied for life
-Is there any pretensioner or device that is not assisting the retract
-Should I replace the unit the belt is coiled in?
-Is there a way just to increase the tension

yes Honda and i think Toyota also are the only ones to do so, but they cannot be in an accident or any type of physical damage such as being cut and what not, basically call up the dealer (i need to actually talk to them about doing mine at some point lol, but you may have to do a cleaning of the shoulder belt anchor first, then take it back in if that does not fix it (gotta be willing to jump through their hoops)

only a clock spring retracting it, that has basically lost it's tension

comes as an assembly (including a new buckle on the seat itself normally), and why would you try even fixing a safety item; it's kinda like trying to repack an airbag in my mind

as said don't try fixing a safety item, and to even get to the spring and have to break the reel/housing apart/open it up, and even then it will probably only be a temporary fix, the spring has already fatigued and lost it's tension
