STOP TAKING THE PISS, you all know NOTHING


I'm waiting for the REAL guru's to get on this thread and show you guys a thing or two about how to help your fellow owner.

I'm already feeling depressed about my size and my surgeon says any more enlargements could be life threatening.

I'm gonna go now and sulk in my car whre none of you can get to me

I had this problem on my old S

It was the seat belt rubbing against the top right hand side of the seat right near the seam. I marked the extent of the seat belt that was rubbing i.e. sat in the seat with seat belt on and marked with a little chalk at the offending position. I then put a little vaseline on the seat belt local to this position on the side that was rubbing (ensure the excess is removed and be careful not to treat too much as this will then get on your clothes). Seemed to fix the problem.

Try cleaning the seatbelt.

Unroll it completely, and clean it with isopropol alcohol Leave the belt unravelled to dry out. You'll be suprised how much crud is in it.

Dunno if this will help, but worth a try.

My passenger one does this, but not mine. I'm trying to do this, this weekend.

Your constructive comments are always welcome GSi but I think the Vaseline gets my vote

I put some black electrical tape over the corner of the seat where mine rubs. Not advisable if you have red leather however. I'd use red tape then.
