The passenger side seat belt on my Element is very touchy. It seems
to want to slowly "constrict" the wearer. What I mean is that after
attaching the seat belt it constantly wants to retract as is normal
but eventually it also will not extend even when done very slowly.
For instance once the passenger has fastened the seat belt they will
find that after awhile they cannot lean forward without it locking
regardless of car motion. The driver's side belt operates normally.
When I ride in the passenger seat it does the same thing to me. After
a time the problem always necessitates the passenger undoing and
reattaching the belt.

Any help would be appreciated.
