I looked and didn't see anything about this on the DIY, but maybe I missed it.
Is there any way to get it to have more "spring" to retract? It's lazy now and barely retracts all the way when I push the belt perfectly inline.
Pull the belt all the way out and give it a good clean with soapy water, let it dry and see if it works any better.

There is only one thing more pleasurable than working on a Z3, that's driving it top down on a fine day.
I just happened to see this. Thanks for the post. Worked like a charm. Never figured it could have been this simple a fix. I can’t believe how gross the water was. I followed this method:

Wow, that's disgusting. Not surprising, just disgusting.
I gotta try this on my slow Coupe belt.
