Default Getting Really Annoying

Getting to the point that i have to do something about the Creaking noise created by the Seat Belt rubbing on the Seat leather. Driving me

Other than drowning it out with music or (both of which are fun i must admit) or putting on a good few stone in weight, has anyone else found this a problem or found a product that stops the noise.

Your help is as always greatly appreciated.

I've got that. Was thinking along the lines of cleaning and conditioning the leather to see if that works.

Mine does this too, some kind of felt stuck to the underside of the seatbelt would cure it (you'd never see it).

Mine must be the worst built one EVER... passenger seatbelt rattles on the door pillar, the passenger seat rattles back and forth and if i put it really far back the leather rubs on the back. The roof makes a clicking noise when i am going slow... "i know i know" "put the roof down then and go fast... but thats not always possible, fun though. All these littl niggles really wind me up.
Just thought i would share my probs..

I had this - drove me

I stuck a little piece of sticky-back foam on the both seats underneath where the seatbelt rubs. You can't see it and it does the job - no more annoying creak

Without sounding too much like a clever prat - please dont stick ANYTHING to the underside of the seatbelt!!

you can kill yourself doing that!

stick something to the seat - not the belt!

But that doesn't fix the leather squeeking against the seat belt. Its put a steering wheel near my unit (i.e. its driving me nuts)
