Default Squeaky seat belts

Probably loads of threads on here about this but done mine today and honesty took less than 5 minutes to complete. Took me as long to turn the car round on the drive as it did to complete. Wish ad done it sooner.

this is the 1st mod any newage owner should do. Its also the cheapest and easiest mod to do , with brilliant results. Imagine if no-one knew what it was and Subaru charged a fortune to fix it , when all it takes is to chop off that wee bit of plastic !
