Default HELP! Seat belt retracter is broken

hello peeps, i usually just come on here to read about e series xr6 falcons and make a thread when something breaks on my xr6 haha
well few weeks ago the rear passagner side seat belt broke, it comes out but doesn't want to retract back in , i have to physically feed it back in. I'm unemployed at the moment because i lost my job because of a license suspension and i don't have much money to fork out on my car (suspension is over now but) . Whats a cheap way to fix it? Would i have to buy a new seatbelt assembly? Is there anywhere i can go to get it fix ? Thanks

Not really a cheap way to fix a life saving device mate... Sorry.

Looks like you will have to shop around for best price

A Wrecker won't sell you one.
For now...don't put anybody in that seat position.

And the retraction part is actually important..a 'loose' seatbelt would be just as bad as none at all as in a crash the person is going to move relative to the seat belt.
