Driver-side Seatbelt is scratching the interior trim!

Sometimes when I go to grab the seatbelt, when I first get into my car, the metal part at the end gets wedged between the seat and the interior wall of the car. Anyway, I have now noticed that when this has happened, it has resulted in some screatches in the plastic trim on which the seatbelt is mounted. These scratches are pretty noticable. Is there anything I can do about them? Thanks for any advice.

John

I have this happen too. I try to be more careful now, but I haven't done anything to get rid of the scratches. Not really sure what you could do though.

I finally got in the habit of holding my seatbelt up when I remove it and letting the buckle slide down so it doesn't get caught between the seat and the pillar. Also makes it easier to reach and put on.

Yes, the seat belt. One of my complaints. All scratched up now.

the way I got rid of the scratches was to clean it really well with some interior cleaner, then apply 303 on the pillar and the scratches went away for a few months until the seatbelt hit that area again
