Default Help! My driver's side seat belt strap

Help! My driver's side seat belt strap squeaks against the back of the seat while driving. It's driving me crazy. There must be an easy fix for this. What is it?

Your seatbelt is rubbing the leather right by the seatbelt guide. Just put a piece of felt underneath the belt where it's rubbing the seat, then secure the felt by loosening up the 2 screws on the belt guide, sticking part of the felt underneath it and tightening it up.

Or.....purchase some self-stick velcro, and using the 'loop' portion of the hook and loop material, stick a small piece where it's rubbing the seat.

Will the adhesive on the underside of the felt harm the seat leather in any way?

I have the same problem. I found out that I remove the seat belt from the guide, the noise went away.

I'm going to try the felt. Does anyone have any pictures of this?
