Car is getting older (07' RS) so time to look at some replacement parts and address some issues. Looking for some feedback.

1. I have the Carbon Fiber (plastic) center console that is cracked. Where should I source, or repair?

2. My Seatbelt (not sure about passenger) is loose. If it is pulled out a bit it does not retract easily. Sometimes I have to feed it back in. This seems like a safety issue but not sure if anyone has experienced this with their car and there may be a fix as opposed to replacing the unit? If the unit needs replaced, where do you suggest sourcing the part(s). If I were to replace I'd probably get Orange.

MACarbon makes a CF console for about a third of the price of OEM.

Seat belt likely just needs to be cleaned.

DBCarbon for the center console. $1k. $250 for ashtray. No core required. Great customer service. Great quality.

Repeat of what was said before. Searching will often bring answers.

Seatbelt Retraction Problem - FIX
My seatbelt was not retracting into driving position without manually feeding it through the loop on the height adjuster. Noticed that retraction was slowed or stopped when there was zero belt clearance where the belt is looped over.

Cut a piece of 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper the width of the belt and fed it through inside the belt loop. Pulled the belt and sandpaper (grit side against the loop) together, back and forth through the loop a few times. This left a few deposits of debris on the sandpaper. No real sanding, just debris removal. The tensioner is working fine and the belt now retracts like it should.

Beats paying $400 for a new belt assembly.

Thanks so much for this!!.. My car was in the shop and I had ordered a new Dr Seatbelt. I sent the shop your suggestion... Worked like a charm. Saved me a couple hundred $$. I owe you a beer! or 12...
