Hello...

Just one of these annoying things really. Decided to tackle it today and go crazy with the WD40 but it hasn't sorted it it's coming from the section above the seat, you know, when you pull it...

Has anyone else had this? Do you actually need to take the mechanism apart

 

Remove he lower part of the b pillar, the part the belt comes out of. On the back are horizontal ribs. They can all be cut off with a craft knife. Voila squeak gone.

 

+1 Tiny little trick, takes less than 5 mins and a knife..and such a relief when its gone.

 

Easy job, did both sides in my blobeye in under 15 minutes using a leatherman. The cover is only held in with 1 Clip/plug then it pulls off. Just trim the top strengthening bar - you'll probably find it's thinner than the rest and quite sharp. No need to sand it flat or anything just cut the majority of it away.

 

Thanks for this tip/fix.. I can stop taking the tablets now.!

10 minutes max for both sides.

 

mines the same job for weekend

 

i have a day off today that is on my list of jobs

 

Just picked up my first Impreza today, guess what? Both seat belts squealed. Fixed them with this tip, thanks!

 

my last bug did this both front belts fixed it. now my new bugs exactly the same done drivers side but been putting off the wifes side till she lets me spend money on the car lmao
