Clicking sound from seatbelt

Ponchoyu · 08-21-2005, 06:59 PM

I get this annoying clicking sound from my seatbelt (driver's side) when I drive .....its coming from the anchor by my left ear. Anyone else get this annoying noise?

Jimifighter · 08-21-2005, 07:02 PM

Try a search, there are several other threads regarding this noise.

most have it do a search, I fixed it with a gum wrapper jamed in there lol. No BS it works.

I bought this silicone spray from my local autoparts store (they all have it) thats used for lubrication.. Well I took the spray (with the long thin attachment nozzle) and sprayed it into the seatbelt area. I ended up using half the bottle and you know what, it actually worked somehow. Now i'm not saying this will work for everyone, but if you ever get to the end of ure rope and are about to slit your wrists, this might be worth trying.

That cricket in the ear can get real annoying after a while !

Amazing I just heard it yesterday. After 3200 miles.

itznin · 08-22-2005, 01:32 PM

Death to the clicking sound!

I am going to try the gum wrapper!

xcalibr · 08-23-2005, 06:44 PM

i started hearing it for the first time this weekend --on both sides... with the radio off, i can actually hear the passenger side ticking while i'm driving. i've had my car for 3 weeks and was hoping i would be one of the lucky ones without the ticking --no such luck...

dnh325i · 08-23-2005, 07:16 PM

Easy fix - turn up the radio. This was my dad's old solution whenever I called home from college to tell him I had car trouble LOL.

Seriously, I now have 700 miles, not yet 2 weeks, but no clicking sound in the B pillars.

Can you explain the gum wrapper.

I have a z4 and after 4000 miles I have developed the click.

thanks

llaroo · 08-23-2005, 10:44 PM

my dealer ordered a replacement part for me to pick up. Hopefully it dissapears.

Should be anytime soon though!!!!

I too got the clicking sound. I just moved my seat one notch backward and it went away. I think it's got to do with the wheel the seatbelt is winded around. It clicks at certain points. *shrug*

I had the same creaky spring like noise. I just tug on the seatbelt and it seem to go away. Hopefully for good.
