try adjusting the top of the belt holder up or down to see if it helps at all, probs wont but worth a try.

Post by: DBXdarkangel on April 01, 2019, 01:55:46 pm: Its like the seat belt isn't taught enough (it's not slack or anything) and when I go over speed bumps at an angle and the car rocks slightly sided to side then the metal clip / buckle hits the plastic trim on the centre door post. Mines a 5 door

Post by: DBXdarkangel on April 03, 2019, 09:25:41 am: Yeah i see the loop that's on mk6 versions but I can't see what's needed to make it?
I read to try to move the adjuster up to the top to make the belt more taught against the pillar
