The front seat belts on my '05 Passat TDI Wagon (20k km) are "lazy" and do not retract completely when I leave the vehicle. This is not a huge problem but it is a consistent PITA annoyance because I very often end up slamming the door on the buckle - an unpleasant experience. It is almost as though the return springs on the belts are not strong enough.
I am scheduled for a warranty visit next week but I anticipate the standard "that's the way they are designed" BS non-response that is sure to leave me livid.
Has anyone out there experienced this same issue / phenomonon (on an '04 / '05 Passat) and has anyone received a satisfactory fix? If so, what was the fix - so I can lord it over the VW Service folks?
Thanks muchly;
