Try to learn to listen for the tell-tale "clunk" when the belt buckle hits the door frame and don't slam the door on it! I'm on my second driver's door panel (first was replaced under warranty, along with the seatbelt mechanism) and that one has been patched/repaired. Also, when it fails to retract, I pull it out all the way and then let it retract. It's usually OK for a while. Mine is really no better or worse now than when the car was new.

I think that Volvo might still warranty the seat belt mechanism "for life" so if it's giving you a lot of trouble you might want to visit your dealer.
