seat belt squeek anyone?

finally started to hear a squeek or rattle. had this girl in my car, and i thought for a while she was making the noise. but i noticed it again when a buddy was in my car. the noise would come only when someone is sitting in my passenger seat. finally pin pointed it to the seat belt. the part where the cloth meets the plastic of the buckle makes a squeek. anyway to get rid of that?

Try spraying some WD-40 down at the anchor of the seatbelt. The squeaking should go away.

Most people used WD-40 and works out fine. I tried also and fixed my problem.

known problem - Acura will fix

They know about the problem and you should take it to Acura to fix it. I had the same problem and I think they added a small plastic piece to keep it from rubbing. Anyhow, they fixed it the same day..

There was seat belt buckle recall on 00 Acura TL while back. I replaced my both front seat belt buckles for free.

My seat belt buckles were squeaking too. I had my belts replaced for the recall a month ago after the SRS light came on. Today I started to hear the squeaking again and later today, the SRS light came on again. This is the third time the SRS light has come on (I didnt spray anything in there to cause the SRS light to come on. Its still squeakin.). Sux

Did you receive the recall letter, or did you read this 02 seatbelt recall somewhere ?
