Re: [doc] seat belt tension

It'll be use that weakens them, not age. And they will be stored with 
the spring in the most relaxed state. I'm sure if there's a problem, 
you'll be able to exchange them. I think you'll find it's a Mini part 
originally. The winder mechanism is a generic part and you can have your 
buckle sewn onto it (apparently, never had it done)
