My drivers side seat belt seems to be losing it's retraction tension. I have to now push it up so it can retract all the way back in.
Does anyone know how to pretension them?

Re: Belt retraction
Probably something you don't want to play with... they have a small charge (the pyrotechnic variety) in them to tension them in the event of an accident, they are triggered at the same time as the airbags.

Re: Belt retraction
What normally happens with rh front seat belts in vehicles (4wds seem to suffer this more than passanger cars) is the belts get stiff from dirt/grease off your clothes/body & the top belt guide gets a build up of crud on the surfaces that the belt slides over
One solution is to pull the belt all the way out & give it a wash with soapy water to soften it up again & leave it out until it is fully dry & clean/scrape the crud off the guide slot (the inside & outside of it if possible)
