Default seat belt squeak

What do you use to eliminate the rubbing squeak of the seat belt sliding on the top of the seat?

I had this since the day i bought the car. Very annoying!

I used a small piece from an old t-shirt and covered the small area where the seatbelt touches the seat and generates the noise. I simply used some tape to attach it. Doesn't harm the seat, eliminates the noise, but looks a bit ghetto...

Buy some seat belt pads. That is the first 'mod' I made as both my driver and passenger seats were making the squeaking noise from the belt rubbing on the leather bead. Just make sure the pads stay at the top of the seat where the belt meets it and you won't have any more issues.

I have it too. I notice it on the driver's side but don't notice any noise from the passenger's (although I have not sat in the passengers seat before..). Is this the same scenario for you guys too? Or is there noise on both seats?

I heard mine (and still do if I don't have the seat belt pad in the right place) more prominantly on the driver side. I could still hear it on the passenger side though.

Use Lexol on your leather and it doesn't squeak.

A small piece of the soft side of velcro glued to the seat will fix this.

That's what I did.
