Anyone else suffer from buckle banging?
« on: October 13, 2012, 03:44:58 pm »
Does my head right in.

When the seatbelt, mainly the passenger seat bucket isn't being used, it bangs against the side on speed bumps and other dips and bumps in the road.

Does my nut RIGHT IN!

Solution, either get your mrs to drive around with you all the time, errr no, or use the bolster.



What a stupid design flaw though!

Don't have this problem, but my front seatbelt holsters rub/squeak on the leathers when plugged in.

Infuriating it is!

My passenger side does this so I just raise the belt a bit higher & it stops

Lower the height of the shoulder position on the door pillar and it will shut up  :wink:

Alternatively, stick a velcro pad on the pillar (the soft side) which will cushion the blow.
