WE OWN A 1989 JAGUAR XJ6 AND THE AUTOMATIC SEAT BELTS DO NOT RETRACT EVERYTIME THE DOOR IS CLOSED. SEVERAL YEARS AGO THE BELTS WERE REPLACED BY OUR LOCAL DEALER BUT NOW THE PROBLEM IS THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE. THE DEAL STATED HE CANNOT GET PARTS ANY LONGER. WHAT OPTIONS DO WE HAVE? I'M SURE SOMEONE MAKES AFTER MARKET LAP BELTS THAT ARE NOT MOTORIZED.
