'09S with 27K, driver's seat belt mechanism works like new.
Sorry you're having trouble.
For years I was complaining about the seat belt on my '99 RX300. Then, finally, a guy at the Lexus service dept. pointed out that a guide that the belt passes through was all crusty, and scraping it out a bit with something sharp would free the belt to move easier.
I felt pretty stupid for not having figured that out for myself...I just ass|u|med it was something going on inside the door where I couldn't/shouldn't touch it!
(BTW, nice to see a fellow not-a-garage-queen '09S owner!)
