Harness Belts Stuck

Post by SirGerald »

Hi

The shoulder belts on our 4 point harness are now very hard to adjust.

You use to be able to easily lengthen or pull tight however now it appears the webbing is getting caught in the adjuster.

I have tried pulling them apart and coating everything in crc and they still stick. To a point that it is almost impossible to adjust the belts yourself.

Anythoughts or is it just what happens to them after getting coated in mud and water??

Try giving them a spray with silicon and keep working them.

are they the 3" matted type on ones

they swell easy and clog with mud etc etc and become hard to use

I prefer the 2" ones that are the same material as your average car, they seem to clog less and are therefore easier to adjust, but not everyone likes the narrow width

Yip the 3" matted ones. They don't appear to have mud in them so must have just swollen.
