rs6er Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Is it just my car? The seat belt clasp is always rattling away when there's no passenger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camber Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I find that you have to rotate the seat belt buckle to sit flat against the pillar. When a person uses the front seat belt it seems to always rest at 90 degrees to the b pillar and this causes the side of the buckle to tap against the plastic of the b pillar. Just rotate it to sit flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rotate it to sit flat. I don't quite get this. My belt is laying flat against the piller, shiny part facing the seat. Are you saying I SHOULD rotate it 90 degrees?

smokedoutv6 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 i slid mine all the way down (the little lever so you can adjust it for height of the person) i noticed i dont hear it as much i guess since the wind isnt hitting the strap as easily. it worked for me and its worth a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator GT Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 BTDT. Happens without the windows open also. Man, sounds like you have a stubborn buckle.....velcro it to the B-pillar. Variety of colors, a 3 yr old can do it and its easily replaceable. There's your solution.

BTW, this only started happening after I disabled the seatbelt alarm, lol. Karma? Another pet peeve. How hard would it have been for Subaru to put some kind of flocking inside the glovebox and cubbies so that things in them (wheel lock key, EZPass, etc. don't make so much noise banging around? Just plain cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just plain cheap. Flocking? Like Flock of Seagulls? ...ugh, I was going to post a picture, but they are all hideous! Anyway, why not stuff some fleece in their that matches your interior? Or maybe attach some felt to the inside of the compartment? "If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed." - T.

rs6er Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Flocking IS like felt. I guess I could use felt but it would be hard to keep clean. I'll probably just put the hard goods inside some kinda cloth bag. It just seems cheap-- very un-Audi-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator GT Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Well, if flocking is like felt, why the heck would PUTTING felt in their be any different than if it came that way from the factory?

qikslvr Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I keep my wheel key rolled up in a clean shop rag and keep a couple more in there just in case I need one. That pretty well keeps everything from sliding and rolling around. I swear my passenger side seat belt has always hung over the side of the seat and has never rattled. I think the slider is all the way down and the seat stays fairly upright and about 3/4 of the way back most of the time. This probably won't work with the seat slid all the way back or reclined though. Let's kick this pig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimbonies Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I put all these rattling items in a Crown Royal bag. Of course, you have to empty the contents first! Zim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Even flat mine rattles, so I've been buckling it. For those familiar with the product, do you think a bit of dynamat placed on the b-pillar, where the it rests, will work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
