Couple of seatbelt questions... my front passenger side seat belt works
normally... but sometimes retracts too quickly.  Twice it has taken small
chunks out of my window tinting on the passenger window.  Has anyone else
had this problem?  I remember that same thing happened on my 88 wolfie.
Have to be careful not to just let it fly when releasing from the buckle...
and some passengers don't.

My driver's side belt has the opposite problem... it retracts so slowly that
it does not make it any where near all the way back before I exit the car
and close the door... in fact last night I closed the belt in the door.  Any
ideas on solving either problem short of buying new belts or retractors?
Actually, I've no doubt that the new ones would snap the belt back fast and
cause the same problem as my passenger side belt too, right?

Small problems in the overall scheme of things, but they can be irritating
sometimes.

Opinions, oh trusted keepers of the list?  TIA.
