Auto Seat Belts and cold weather

The cold weather lately has been causing my automatic seat belts to act more and more erratic.
The auto belts wont go back into position until the car warms up a bit. Is this the switch in the door itself? or something else?
I hate
these belts!!!

I think it is more likely that the cable that runs the length of the rail is cold enough that it is sticking. I've used WD40 to lube mine a couple of times, I think WD40 is resistant to cold temperatures as far as thickening or freezing and works well but smells funny for a few days. There is probably some other treatment prescribed by Subaru, but I have never explored such a possibility. Anyone else know?

White lithium grease is probably better and doesn't smell as bad as WD-40. I don't like WD-40 and don't use it for anything. Smells terrible and there's better lubricants that last longer.
On another note, did you know that the main ingredient in WD-40 is fish oil?
