Seatbelt Smacking B Pillar

Speaking about seatbelt buckles smacking the pillars, I hate it when my passengers unbuckle fast and practically fling it against the pillar.

 

I hate when I unbuckle, occasionally the buckle part would fling up and smack my window. It leaves little marks on the window tint.

 

I noticed today the seat belt buckle is leaving marks/scratches on the B pillar plastic from just using the seat belt. I thought about felt tape or 3m paint protector film but found these online. For under 4 bucks for a pair, thought I'd give it a try.

For the passenger seat belt buckle flapping against the B-pillar in the wind, it annoyed me too. When no one is sitting in the front passenger seat, I turn the buckle around 180deg, and stick the metal latch down in the slot between the vertical adjuster and the trim below that. Keeps things pretty non-flappy like that.

 

I've had to lean over and straighten out the passenger to keep it from tapping the B-pillar more than once. I can't stand hearing any kind of rattles. May have to give the plastic covers a try.

 

That’s a good idea, I think I’ll steal it for use in my 4runner. The rear seat belts flop all around and drive me nuts when I have all my windows open.

 

That works, thanks! I’ll probably still look into a clip or adhering some felt there.

 

buckle it

 

Sure, but...

• Looks goofy, can't unsee.
• Makes it more awkward to put items on the front seat.

 

Buckle the passenger belt

 

So you’re saying the wife is noisier than the seatbelt?

 

Close! She always wears a seat belt. And when I moved the seat forwards, the rattling is much less.

 

who said that? Crashes without seatbelts At 18mph can result in fatalities
