Default Seatbelt issue

I have been experiencing an issue with my seatbelt fellas.
Since I changed them out to do an entire interior swap, the replacements I used havent been retracting as they should.


The passenger side is so bad that it doesn't retract at all. No one can sit in the passenger seat.

Now these seatbelts are from an 01-05 ... Does that make a difference?

Should I just look into buying another one? Could it happen again? OR can this one I have currently be salvaged ?


Let me know guys, thanks

There may be a problem in the retractor, but most likely the high point pillar anchor may have crud in it and flossing with spikey (not the fuzzy) velcro would fix it.
