I tried tightening up the seatbelt retractor like this: http://www.4x4wire.com/toyota/minutemods/seatbelt/

But I could only get a retractor spring a little tighter, now it is all the way compressed as far as it can go and the seatbelt is the same.

I have read this thread: http://www.tacomaterritory.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3721&highlight=seatbelt

and I don't know what other options I have other than try washing the seatbelt or buying a new seatbelt retractor from a wrecking yard.
