Default Squeaky seat belts

Hello guys,

I'm sure this topic has probably been covered before but I have a 2002 WRX with squeaky seat belts which are driving me mad...

Anyone had/have the same problem and know the fix for it?

Cheers in advance

if you take the lower plastic trims off you will see some excess ribs on the inside. trim these off with a sharp knife or dremel this will sort it out. if you dont get it sorted pm me

Yes, do the above. Covered a few times on here. The plastic is very soft and you can trim off the ribs very easily, you'll see the fluff where the belts have been rubbing when you pull them off.

the one which covers the belt in the pillar. Takes about 10 mins to do both sides at the most.
