You dont see them because they face down and are covered by the seatbelt. I just pulled it up for the pic.

The funny thing is my seatbelt retracted fine until I took it in to the dealer for th eT3650 fix.

It's a typical Ford band-aid.

Wouldn't it be simpler to go buy a roll of Teflon tape?

Great, but as I said before I flipped the floor brackets around, and removed the seat loops. It wasn't bad when I got the car, but I did have a little trouble...

none now though...

The only problem i have with my seatbelts is the damn passenger side loop likes to hit the interior trim when i hit bumps and make a rattle noise. I can move the seat so it doesn't hit, but it just so happens my passenger is most comfortable in the exact spot where the loop hits the trim over bumps.

I would take the loop off, but it's the only thing keeping the seatbelt buckle from banging against the trim and making a rattle noise as well!

So it's basically which noise can i stand the most?

It's the seat belt bouncing against the side of the door as i go over bumps. I can't get it to stop hitting.

Could just be Shrink Tubing

You could probably just use some shrink tubing on the seat belt and it would give you the same results. I will be trying this later on; I will let you know if this works. Plus you can get black shrink tubing so it will look better. If anybody has already tried this let us know if this works.

Mine did the same thing.....i removed the interior trim panel and put a few drops of 3in1 oil on the moving parts and cycled the belt a few times....no more squeek....

Try this......go out and buy those little circular felt pads you put on table legs so they don't scratch the floor, you can get them at wal-mart in the crafts section or even at lowes.... cut one of those pads to fit on the loop where it hits the interior trim.....no more rattle noise. I use them on the back of my license plate so the plate does not scratch the paint and when i close the trunk it does not rattle.....works great for that

I have seatbelt pull-out problems. I took out the retainers on the seats and sometimes the belt just doesn't want to come out.

I have that kind of problem too.

If there is a twist in the belt webbing, and it manages to get pulled into the retractor, the retractor will jam and not release the belt back out again.
