It happens a lot when the spring in the seat belt spool gets worn out.

Happens on both of them in my Jeep. It's the clip on the belt that keeps it from retracting all the way. As it retracts, the clip hits up top and prevents it from going any further. Not sure how to fix that though, as it just has to do with where your seatbelt is adjusted to.

My wife does it all the time & it's normally the start of a argument. It's started to frey my seatbelt.
I guess I'll try to replace the spring... |

Roughin' it smoothly

It used to happen to me until I replaced the worn out belts and started paying attention to that every time I get out. I haven't slammed the door on it in about a year now.

When you unhook your seatbelt, slide the latch down the belt a little. It is what it is........it's what they do. I just got used to it. Now sliding the latch clip is habit and I don't have anymore issues.

Ditto. Just make sure you help the seatbelt retracts and push the buckle/latch up as far as it can and soon it'll become the norm to do that before you leave your seat.

Happens only when I DON'T look before closing door. Otherwise, never happens when I purposely take the time to check where that belt is positioned when getting out! Jammed real good last time-had to climb in passenger side to force door back open!
