Seat Belt Rubbing On Inner "B" Pillar Trim.

**Blitzen** · 24-08-2008, 04:53 PM

Hey guys...

I was chatting to a fellow Polo GTI owner yesterday(Yay, finally, another one, and I did tell him about the site!!), and he pointed out that his inside B Pillar trim had rubbed away from the seat belt. I had never looked at this, so when I had a look, lo and behold, it has rubbed away too...I am pretty disappointed at this(to say the least).

Just thought I'd see if any of you guys had seen/noticed this? I am going to pursue this under warranty, and see how I go...

Yeah, I'm going to see about it tomorrow. I can't see they claiming it at normal wear and tear if the car is only 9 months old. Mind you, the VW dealer up here has trouble identifying what a car is most of the time, so they may try and screw me around.

There is an old thread on here about this - haven't bothered wth mine through laziness.

Let me know how it goes I was thinking of trying to go through warranty to get the same problem fixed.
