Seatbelt slow to retract - rear seats especially

I'm thinking of a winter maintenance project....

My seatbelts don't retract very well. The driver's is ok but all the rest have gotten very slow and one rear seatbelt barely retracts at all.

If I were to take things apart and get to where the retractor is... and gave it some lubricant (likely a dry spray teflon or something similar) would that help??

Anyone with experience on this?

I wonder if when you get in there you might find all kind of dirt and crud from wheeling and a good cleaning will have to be done first. My only thought is how serviceable a seat belt retractor really is. Being a safety device I wonder if you'll find anti tamper bolts and such.
