Angry Front seatbelts loose

I replaced my seats a few months ago with seats i found from a junkyard .They were in very good condition no rips, no tears and the heaters work. The problem is my front seatbelts have no tension at all and my airbag indicator light keeps flashing. The donor GS was in a head on collision, prior to installing the seats my airbag light never came on before.When I called the dealer the service tech told me that upon impact the bags deploy and the belts loose thier tension after impact so EMS can remove front seat passengers without cutting the belts.Once that happens the belts are useless because the blue buckets mounted in the B-pillars cant be reset to recoil and have tension and this will cause your ECU to think your SRS system has deployed.For new belts it would cost $550.00 bucks that is more than I paid for my seats Can anyone tell me how ican fix this problem???

Cool

You should NEVER reuse seatbelts after they've been in an accident!!!!
