Weak seat belt retractor

Driver side seat belt retractor very weak. Have to play with it every time I get out of the car to get it to retract. Any relatively easy fix for this?? No other related issues

Have you tried slowly pulling it all the way out and feeding it back in a few times

After cleaning my seat belt (apc & mf), noted that as a side effect it slides and rolls in a bit better.

Pull the belt all the way out then spray liberally with Mr Sheen then rub in with clean cloth. Pull in and out a good few times, it works a treat.

Belts get dirty over time, pull it out fully and clean it with a damp cloth and some soapy water, let it dry and see if it retracts any better, use Mr Sheen on it if its still slow then test it again.
