Protecting trim from Seat Belt Buckle Re-coil


Has anyone noticed their seat buckle scratches the interior trim when undoing the buckle and allowing the belt to re-coil.

So far on my 2006 STS their are only a few scratches, but on my friends 2005 it is looking really bad.

Does anyone have some ideas about how to prevent this?

Cheers
Luke

Hi Luke,

I noticed the scratches on my trim too and you're correct, the seat belt buckle does hit the plastic trim pretty hard when it retracts into place.

I have lessened the impact by putting on those seat belt pads that go around the seat belt itself, so it doesn't retract all the way back when I press the release button.

The other solution is to cover the plastic trims with clear type self adhesive film/pvc.

I have a habit (and it's a good habit, emoticon), to actually hold the clip and feed the belt back into place over my sholder, when I'm ready to leave the vehicle.

I really hate seeing twisted belts that don't recall properly over time.

I don't let mine go and leave it to recall by itself.
