Got it on my 52 plate WRX as well.Thought it would go away after awhile but no such luck. It seems to be when you pull the belt over the B-pillar mounting point. I think it might be friction over the plastic but I cant think of any way to fix it. I cant grease or oil it as it would go onto the belt. Had considered trying some kind of polish or even fine sandpaper.

GUYS,

Im sure i saw a post on here a long time ago, what you need to do is remove the seat belt pillar/cover, and where the 2 pieces of material join at the bottom, you must remove the burr, i beleive this is a common fault, I def have it on my o2 wrx sti, but i havent got round to doin it yet.

hope this helps

shaun...
