2005 HB seat belt retractor questions.
I can no longer pull out my seat belt. Over 3 days it gradually got worse...now nothing. It actually feel weird NOT wearing my seat belt.

1) does anyone know the actual OEM part number for the driver/front retractor?


2) Are passenger and driver rectrators interchangeable? If so, I'd like to do a swap while I wait for a new part.

3) looking on ebay and other part stores, which years are compatible with an 05?

Any advice or tips also appreciated.

Thanks, xjm

Solved-for now... After I removed the panel to access the retractor I found that when I moved the unit outward a few degrees (toward seat) it worked! When I pushed the unit to near vertical alignment (upright, toward pillar) it stuck.
