What year car is this? I think that is actually a cable that retracts the seatbelt when the door is closed. It goes to the plunger in the door jamb. You can remove the button/plunger and remove the seatbelt assembly with the cable and the plunger attached. Here is a picture of one out of a car for reference.

I wonder if this is why my drivers side belt doesn't retract properly. Could the cable be kinked or not moving??

I think it is a poor design to begin with...which is probably why they did away with it. I did have a guy once argue with me...and argue with me...for a very long time saying that plunger was the dome light switch. Pretty sure he still thinks that to this day....
