Default Post a picture of your "Squeaky Seat Belt" Solution.

This would be what you do to stop the seatbelt from squeaking over your sholder when rubbing on the seat...

Good question, Destiny!

I was thinking about this just today. I was planning to try a little baby powder tomorrow... I'll let you know how it goes. I was also thinking that a little suntan lotion rubbed into the belt might not be a bad idea... Just thinkin' out loud.

I bet this subject has come up before, maybe in wash and wax???

Not supposed to put chemicals on the belt itself... might lead to failure.

Destiny, guys, just thought I'd tell you that a little baby powder (talc) seems to work just fine. I attached the belt to the clasp (as if someone were sitting in the seat). Then I took about a quarter of a handful and basically ran the belt over (and then under) the talc to rub it in. Just thought I'd pass this tip along.

It's a little messy (can get all over the interior), but I tried it today and no more squeak. A towel cleans up the mess (white spots sit on the leather -- no harm done).

I'm hard pressed to think that talc will lead to any wear on the belt.

DJ, did you try the clear tape? I was doubting that that'd work (plus could leave sticky residue on the plastic guide.

There's two recent threads, best solution is a piece of black
leather 2" by 1 1/2" placed under the seat belt guide. Just
unscrew the guide, slip the leather in long ways, make sure
it covers the piping on the seat, and retighten.

I used a small velcro strip and it works fine. Had forgotten about the squeek.
