Now I have the Splash already almost 11 years, the driver belt does not roll up properly, if you do not pay attention, e.g. in the dark, then you come with the hinge between the door and the car, not funny. It is also a safety aspect. Have seen a video on the Internet, since someone washed his belt with a detergent in the bucket, after that everything was ok again. Well, not exactly good in winter if you drive daily, I would save myself for the spring. Is there (except exchange) other alternatives? Silicone? And does anyone have experience with hand (belt) laundry? Thank you and many greetings
