Seat Belt Rubbing On Inner "B" Pillar Trim.

[PeterHBne]

The taller you are and the further back you sit the less likely it is to happen

Good observation - never thought of that - I sit well forward (though I am 6'3") and my trim is pretty tatty.

In otherwords all u shorties out there get some shoes with huge soles rofl

i went to ask about whether the trim wearing out is under warranty. the guy had a look at it and said he'll follow up on. they (VW osborne park) have indeed replaced badly worn trim in the past but he couldn't promise anything. at least there is some hope. stay tuned.

oooh i dunno about this. i am 6'1" and drive in a bit of a boy racer position with my seat really far back (i did it when i was younger for pure "coolness" and now its what i feel comfortable with) and my pillar trim is a mess. maybe it was like this from the guy before me...hmmm.

I don't seem to have this problem at all

Same, spotless here. Then again, I have my seat all the way back and down.

I'm only a short arse(5'7), but the guy that showed me originally was pretty tall(to me anyway!!).

Just checked, if I sit forward (as I do) the seatbelt is pulled forward too and rubs, but when I put the seat back it's more level(not pulled forward) and doesn't touch the trim but the belt position has to be high.... can't fully press the pedals from all the way back there though.

Update

I went in to VW this morning, and showed them the inner B pillar. Parts are ordered and car is booked in for the warranty work to get done.

Interesting...... when a get a new gearbox I might mention this problem with my B pillar.

okay, i got the call from my dealer and they said the trim will be replaced under warranty. i'm trying to work out how to protect the trim once it's replaced. i don't want to use glue/sticker in case it messes up the trim. hmmmm. i'd advise everyone with this problem to get it sorted sooner than later.

Update

i got the trim replaced under warranty today. all seems fine.
