[s-cars] Seat Belt sticking

A couple times over the last two weeks, I've gone to
put on my seat belt and I find that the belt refuses
to retract or extend past a certain point. It's
essentially stuck in a semi-extended position.

Once, monkeying around with it got it to unstick
itself. The second time, it was more persistant. I
pulled the interior B-pillar cover off, exposing the
ratchet/reel. All that was needed was a slight tap on
the reel and she was free.

Perhaps the reel mechanism or the tensioning system is
in need of repair/replacement? I happen to know that
the tensioning system functions properly in response
to hard accel/decel (heh heh). Perhaps the reel
mechanism needs a good blast of compressed air?
