Default Clicking sound from the seatbelt receptacle…

I have an irritating "clicking" sound coming from inside the seatbelt receptacle, and after just 1000KM!!!
Anyone else having/had this problem??
Could this be fixt in any way or must the dealer replace the part??

Default I think I am having the same problem... although not sure where the sound is coming from

It is the passenger seat and the sound seems to go away if I push on the seat... kinda pushing the seat towards the door. It started about 3 days ago and it is certainly annoying.

Passenger or driver? And calm down.

Default Same here...

mine is coming from the passenger seat, sounds like the seat is trying to settle in, but I constantly hear clicking and squeaking, probably more so squeaking... only had the car for 2k miles. however, i have a TT that has all kinds of little qwerks for the 2.5 years i've had it, so i guess i shouldn't be too surprised.

if you guys can figure out what's wrong please let me know.

thanks.

Default Solution:

Apply the furry side of a piece of Velcro onto the seatbelt housing between the housing and the seat. The noise comes from the plastic housing contacting the leather. The same sound will also emanate from the rear center seatbelt housing. I put a black sock over mine.

I always thought it interesting that mine came that way from the factory.

Default You have Velcro on *both* sides of the housing?

I have it on the consol side, but not on the seat side.
