Seat Belt Squeak...

[Spdrcer34]

I searched, and found nothing...

The drivers side seat belt is squeaking TERRIBLY at the adjustable shoulder triangle part. It is covered in a black plastic. My previous experience is with 1st Gen's, and they are just chromed.

But the friction between the belt/webbing and the plastic is causing a weird noise DIRECTLY in my left ear..

Anyone else have this issue?

How did you fix it?

Nothing?.....

Just swap it out with a seat belt assembly with a chrome ring? I haven't looked at it close enough to see if just the ring can be swapped or not. I haven't seen anything but the chrome myself, so this is a new one on me.

What is actually squeaking? If there is a roller, you could squirt some white lithium grease in there as long as it won't get on the belt.

The friction created between the black plastic and the belt...that is causing the noise.

I can't put any grease on the belt, as what ever I put on there will get on my wifes clothes as she puts the seat belt on.

And we wear our seat belts.....

Ah I thought maybe there was a roller or something. Sorry I have no ideas, maybe do like gman suggested and try to swap it for something different.
