Don't most seatbelts today have pretensioners like that?

Actually makes me wonder... Don't seatbelts age out, due to UV exposure? A quick look didn't reveal much about that issue, so maybe not. That said, any seatbelt (that was in use) after a crash ought to be replaced--they are designed to stretch a small amount, and thus are one-time use items. I wouldn't want to pull a belt from a wreck; and I wouldn't want to pull a belt from a vehicle which might have been wrecked & then rebuilt--but didn't have the belts replace ("Oh they looked fine to me!").

I was at a junk yard looking for parts for his Jeep on Monday and found a couple Trailblazers, I tried taking the seat belt out but it looks like the retractor is inside of the seat, not sure though. Was too much work to get it out so I gave up.

One nice benefit of Honda is they have lifetime seatbelts warranty. Do other makes follow this?

Had a 91 Corolla and booked it on the phone for Toyota scheduled valve clearance check.
Called back about 15 minutes later to point out that the drivers seatbelt does not always retract all the way without helping it along. That should be a warranty fix? I asked. No said the service advisor. I said that's a safety item! No he said... so I promptly cancelled the valve service and never went to that dealer again.

I took a quick look into the electronic GM parts catalog and yes that front passenger seatbelt in OAK color is discontinued. The part number was 88956142. You may have a dealer search nationwide inventory for NOS.

Or here is a rebuild service:

I think only Honda has lifetime seat belts warranty. Probably Honda didn't want to get sued for failing seat belts in a car accident, it wold be a nightmare PR.
