Arrow Squeaky seatbelt assembly

I have been a long time casual reader here but decided its finally time to join the forum

Just picked up 2012 C300 Sport 4M and the driver side seatbelt squeaks with even the slightest change in tension when I have my seatbelt on.

Its going into service next week but I was wondering if any one had any such issues?


This is my first MB ever so other than this minor issue so far I LOVE the car

I had a similar squeak on my driver side whenever someone was using the belt. Mine turned out being the buckle rubbing on the seat so I just put the soft side of some velcro tape on the buckle and no more squeak.
Got the idea from our A4 that comes from the factory that way.

Same problem!

YES i have the exact same squeak!!

The slightest change in tension and I can hear a faint squeaky spring noise coming from inside the seatbelt opening right next to my ear.

Please keep us posted with the outcome.

Will bring up the issue on my next visit, which won't be for a while...

I have the same squeaks from driver side seatbelt. Do you have this fix by MB dealer? How long do they need to keep the car?
