The unused seatbelt rattle

[Tony B2]

Sorry if I have missed a solution, from years ago (blame the carp search function...) but does anyone have an elegant/effective solution for the rattling seatbelt buckle which occurs when nobody is using the passenger seatbelt?

Sticking a sticky rubber pad on the B-pillar trim seems terribly un-Porsche....;-)

Clip it into the latch ?

What you need to do is place the seat belt stopper flush up against the seat belt buckle section...then retract the seatbelt tension, and glide both as far up the seatbelt length as you can: the buckle is then held tight to the gap where the seatbelt comes out of the top of where a b pillar would be.

I applied some sticky backed felt to the seat belt buckle. Bought some from the local craft shop and cut to size. No more rattle.

I had started to try and convince myself it was a Porsche "characteristic". I've done this also and it has solved the issue for me too. Thank you
